A teenage boy was robbed at knifepoint after being targeted by an Audi driver near Kings Langley.

The armed suspect exited the vehicle and demanded the boy hand over his electric bicycle. The victim then dropped the bike and fled.
Detective Constable Carina Ng, from the Local Crime Unit, said: “I appreciate the nature of this incident is concerning, and thankfully the victim didn’t suffer any injuries.
“Our enquiries are continuing, and I am appealing for anyone with information to please come forward.”
