Three teenagers have been arrested after electronic scooters were stolen in Warwick town centre.

Officers were called to a report of a robbery close to Sainsbury's on Coten End shortly after 6.15pm on Tuesday (19 July).

A group is understood to have been threatened by another group with what is believed to have been a bladed item, before three E-scooters were taken.

The three victims were uninjured but "left shaken" by the incident.

An area search was carried out and officers made three arrests shortly afterwards.

A 16-year-old boy from Birmingham was arrested on suspicion of robbery and possession of a knife/bladed article while a 14-year-old boy from Birmingham was arrested on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon and robbery. 

A second 16-year-old boy from Birmingham was arrested on suspicion of robbery and possession of a class B/C drug.

All three have been bailed until next month.

The stolen scooters were subsequently recovered, a blade and a quantity of what is believed to be cannabis were seized.

A Warwickshire Police spokesperson said: "Enquiries are ongoing and we're keen to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time, who saw anything suspicious or who can help with our investigation.

"Anyone with information is asked to report it online quoting incident number 332 of 19 July or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
