A boy had his mobile phone stolen yesterday during a robbery on Hale Road.
The victim was attacked by a group of youths in the incident at about 4pm yesterday afternoon.
Enquiries are ongoing to attempt to identify the offenders.
It follows two incidents last week where boys were robbed by groups of youths, at Hale Bowling Green and in Timperley.
Police have again appealed for parents to ensure that children do not have valuables on show while out and about.
They’ve also suggested that children with an iPhone should download the Find My iPhone app, so the phone can be traced.
