Two knifepoint robbers are still at large after a jogger was targeted on the outskirts of Watford, police have confirmed.

The victim was in Whippendell Wood when two males, believed to be teenagers, approached him before one brandished a knife.

They then stole his watch and fled – leaving the 46-year-old victim uninjured.

Armed police and a dog unit rushed to the woods at around 10.45am on Tuesday (July 5) but despite scouring the area no suspects were found.
