The teenagers are said to have threatened the victims, aged in their 20s and 30s, and followed them to a nearby shop, between 2.30am and 3am.

They are reported to have continued to shout threats as the pair left the shop, making their way home.

Three other teenagers are then said to have joined them before both men were assaulted and robbed of their shopping.

They have since been bailed until Saturday, March 11 while further inquiries are carried out.

Officers are also seeking to further identify the other suspects involved in the incident.
