An investigation's been launched after an 18-year-old was threatened with a weapon and robbed in the Charleston area of Dundee at around 6pm on Monday evening (4th April).
The 18-year-old man was riding his electric scooter along Dunholm Road, near to Dunholm Terrace, when he was confronted by four men.

"There are a number of shops nearby and I am sure someone would have either seen the men hanging about before or running off after the robbery."
