A youth ripped a medical alert pendant from the neck of a 15-year-old boy.
The victim, who suffers from acute kidney failure, had just been bought the £80 pendant giving details of his condition and the drugs he needs.
The boy was approached by youths in the shopping parade at Langley Green, Crawley, at 9.30pm on October 27.
One snatched the chain and pendant and the gang ran off.
