TWO brothers were stopped by thieves last Saturday as they walked home from a visit to their grandmother's.

The two boys, aged 13 and 15, were walking along Heston Road, Hounslow, at around 1pm, when they were approached by a gang of about eight Asian youths.

The gang, aged between 10 and 16, surrounded them and demanded the boys empty their pockets. The elder of the brothers had his Nokia mobile phone, valued at around £50, taken from him.
