A 16-year-old youth was robbed after being surrounded by seven other youths in Crawley.
The victim and three friends were first approached by the gang on Friday night near McDonald's, Crawley leisure centre, and asked for cigarettes.
The youths did not have any and walked off. But the victim was surrounded shortly afterwards in the High Street and had £15 stolen from his wallet. The main offender is black, in his early twenties, stocky and around 6ft tall.
