Boy, 16, Reports Being Robbed At Gun-Point In Lancing By Other Youths

Police are investigating after two boys reported being robbed at gun-point by three youths in a Lancing park.

The 16-year-old said he was with a friend at Monks Recreation Ground in Crabtree Lane around 10pm on Wednesday 26 October when he was approached by three males.

He told police that one of them was holding a firearm and demanding the victim's property be handed over. The boy was then further assaulted by the group.

The three suspects ran off in the direction of Lancing railway station.

Following enquiries, a 16-year-old boy from Shoreham was arrested on suspicion of robbery. He has been released on conditional bail. The two other suspects remain outstanding.
