A PAIR of thieves is operating on the Nene towpath in Northampton targeting teenagers, threatening them then stealing their possessions.
Police are hunting the pair who are threatening teenagers in Northampton before robbing them, with two instances in the vicinity of St. James' retail Park, Alan Tilbury tells us.
Grown men
The first instance was last Sunday when a group was approached by the two grown men asking for drugs, but when told they had none, they were robbed of various items.
One of the pair even searched two of the boys.
The men are 6ft and stock built, wearing white clothing but with black scarves hiding their faces. This is the second such attack.
