TWO men were racially abused and robbed by a gang in Potters Bar.

The pair, both in their 20s, were targeted by a group of four yobs in The Walk.

They were subject to racial abuse and were then told to hand over their possessions – handing over their mobile phones, watches and gold jewellery.

They were also searched for any other possessions before the thugs fled in an unknown direction.

The first robber was described as black, in his early 20s, of slim build and around 5ft 10ins.

He was reported to be wearing a dark hooded top with black tracksuit bottoms.

The second crook was also described as black man, in his early 20s, of slim build and around 5ft 10ins tall.

He was also reported to be wearing a dark hooded top, with a black jacket over the top and black tracksuit bottoms.

The third offender was described as white, of medium build, in his early 20s and around 6ft tall.

He was said to be wearing a grey hooded top with grey tracksuit bottoms.

The fourth yob was described as white, in his early 20s and around 5ft 6ins tall with brown hair.

He was also believed to be wearing a grey hooded top and blue jeans.

Pc Rob Wood, investigating, said: “Thankfully the victims did not sustain any injuries as a result of their ordeal, but they were understandably shaken.

“I am appealing for any witnesses who were in the area at the time the incident took place, or if anyone recognises the men described, to get in contact.”

The mugging took place between 9.30pm and 10pm on Sunday, March 28.
