Officers are appealing for anyone with information to come forward after an attempted robbery of a scooter from a boy in Ferndown.<\/p>\n
At around 7.30pm on Wednesday 12 October 2022 the victim \u2013 a 16-year-old boy \u2013 was riding on a scooter at the junction of Fitzpain Road and Ellesfield Drive when three men moved in front of his path.<\/p>\n
The men \u2013 who were all wearing hooded tops \u2013 demanded to go on the boy\u2019s scooter. After the victim refused, one of the men grabbed his arm while the other two attempted to steal the scooter.<\/p>\n
The victim fled the scene on his scooter and was followed by the men for a short distance. As he reached the Tesla Centre in New Road, a car performed an emergency stop to avoid the victim and the men.<\/p>\n
Police Constable Matt Shewbridge, of Dorset Police, said: \u201cThis incident understandably has left the victim feeling very distressed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would like to speak to the owner of the vehicle who stopped at the scene of the incident as they may have important information or dashcam footage to help my enquiries.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlso, I am appealing to anyone who witnessed what happened or knows who was responsible to please come forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
