Assault and robbery at Maroochydore

Police are appealing for information following the assault and robbery of a teenage boy in Maroochydore on Tuesday night.

Around 7.10pm, a 16-year-old boy was seated at the Horton Parade North bus terminal when he was approached by two men.

One of the men sat beside the boy and after a brief conversation the man grabbed the boy by the throat and made demands for his white, grey and black coloured Nike brand jacket. He made further threats before walking away with the boy's jacket (pictured).

He is described as being in his twenties to early thirties, 180cms tall, medium build with short sandy coloured hair with a 'rat's tail'. He was wearing a white Puma T-shirt, board short and thongs (pictured).

The second man is described as being in his twenties to early thirties, 182cms tall, solid build with a short unkempt beard. He was wearing a black T-shirt and red hat.

The men were last seen getting onto a bus heading towards Tewantin.
