A TEENAGER was subjected to a humiliating robbery by three men which left him naked on a Blackpool beach.

The incident occurred at 7.20pm on December 6 and began as the three thieves approached the 17-year-old and invited him to go and smoke cannabis with them.

When the teenager, who was standing at a tram stop, refused they physically led him to a seated area behind a hotel and began to search his pockets.

The thieves removed some of his belongings and then led the youngster to the beach. He went with because he was fearing a violent attack. He was then instructed to remove all his clothes and walk out towards the sea.

As he did this the thieves made off with his belongings, which included a silver Calvin Klein watch, white Adidas trainers, a black shirt with a Union Jack on the front, a Firetrap woolly hat and wallet containing money and other items.

All three thieves are described as white males and are between 21 and 22 years of age. One was of medium build and 5ft 10ins tall with black shaven short hair. He was wearing a red Reebok jacket and spoke with either a Manchester or Blackpool town accent.

The two others were both stockily built. One had stubble on his face and wore black boots. The other was wearing a baseball cap, black waist- length jacket, white tracksuit bottoms and Rockport boots.
