Two teenagers charged with robbery in Thatto Heath Park

Detectives investigating the robbery of a 16-year-old boy in Thatto Heath Park last year have charged two teenagers in connection with the offence.

At around 8.45pm on Saturday 8 February 2020, the victim had his mobile phone and cash taken by two offenders, one of whom made threats with a knife. The victim was unhurt but left distressed.

Following enquiries, two teenagers were located later that month, arrested on suspicion of robbery and interviewed. 

They have now both been charged with robbery.

18-year-old Zaine Hylton from Bolton and a 16-year-old boy from Manchester will appear at Merseyside Youth Bail Court next Tuesday, 18 May.
