TWO children were punched in a robbery on their way to school.

Two men – both believed to be aged about 20 – approached the youngsters in a ginnel between Tofts Road and Peasland Road, Cleckheaton.

One of the victims was knocked to the floor by a punch, before his friend was also assaulted after trying to fight back. The men then ran off towards Cleckheaton. During the attack – on October 23 – one of the children had a small amount of money stolen.

Any witnesses should call Batley and Spen NPT on 101.
