A statement from Sussex Police said: “At about 5pm on Tuesday (27 September) three youths are reported to have confronted a lone 16-year old boy in Orme Road, Worthing, threatening him with what is described as a black handled kitchen knife before stealing tobacco from him.

“Shortly afterwards in nearby Tarring Road, the group also threatened a 17-year old girl and 19-year old boy at knifepoint and tried to search and steal from them but nothing was taken and nobody was hurt.

“Four boys have been arrested, a 16-year old, and three 15-year olds, on suspicion of robbery.
