A 16-year-old from London has been convicted of robbing a Farnborough teenager at knifepoint.

The incident happened at the Pinehurst Roundabout in Meudon Avenue back on 6 January 2020.

The boy from Kilburn, who can't be named for legal reasons, has been convicted of robbery, possessing a knife in a public place and possessing cannabis.

Aldershot Magistrates Court heard the victim had been walking to the town centre when he was approached by two males.

One showed him a knife and made him hand over his new iPhone and airpods.

When arrested a couple of days later, the 16-year-old had the victim's airpods on him.

He is due to be sentenced at Aldershot on 18 December.
