Three men assaulted three boys in St Albans and stole their wallets and phones.
The boys were walking in Verulamium Park, near Ye Olde Fighting Cocks pub at about 11.30pm on Wednesday, June 21.
They had just passed the River Ver when they were approached by three men, who assaulted the boys and removed their personal items, including mobile phones, wallets and bags.
The men then ran off back into the park towards the main lakes.
The boys suffered swelling to their faces as a result of the attack.
The offenders are described as one white man and two black men, aged around 20, wearing black clothing and white trainers.
Det Con Gareth John is investigating and said: “I would like to trace any witnesses to the incident. We are very keen to trace the men responsible for this incident so they cannot commit further offences of this nature.
