Police want to speak to these four men after violent robbery in Milton Keynes

Thames Valley Police said that at around 7.10pm on Saturday (December 12) a 17-year-old boy was with a friend near to the Tickford Street Convenience Store in Newport Pagnell when a small car pulled up alongside.

Officers said a group of unknown males got out of the car, which is described as small and dark in colour.
