POLICE are appealing for the identity of these two men after three boys were threatened to be stabbed and had their vapes stolen.
The robberies happened between 9pm and 10pm in Stocks Lane, Chichester, on August 31.
Three boys were robbed under the threat of being stabbed in two separate incidents.
The first boy was robbed of his coat near a bus stop at around 9.15pm.
At around 9.50pm, two more boys were robbed. One for his vape, while the other boy had his vape, phone and bank card taken.
In both incidents, the victims were approached by three boys.
No knife was said to have been physically seen by the victims.
Officers attended the scene and later found a 16-year-old boy outside the Co-op store in Bracklesham that matched a description provided by the victims.
He was arrested on suspicion of robbery. He has since been released on conditional bail until September 29.
As part of the ongoing investigation, anyone who knows the identities of these boys, or has any other information relevant to the robberies, is asked to report online, or call 101 quoting serial 1429 of 31/08.
