A 12-year-old girl's been robbed at knifepoint in north London.

Police say two men told her to hand over her phone and threatened her as she was walking home in Camden at around eight-thirty on the evening of the 11th of July.

A teenage boy was arrested but has since been released on bail pending further inquiries.

Sergeant Max Pennington, from local policing team in Camden, said:

"This was a terrifying robbery which took place in broad daylight and we think there will be people who witnessed the incident or recognise the man pictured who can help us to find him and we would urge them to get in touch.”
