TWO muggers snatched a mobile phone from their teenage victim after befriending him at a bus stop in St Helens Road, Daubhill.
The thieves offered to send music to the 14-year-old's phone by Bluetooth, at 9pm on Wednesday.
As he got his phone from his pocket, one of the thieves grabbed it and they ran off.
The thieves were Asian, aged about 18, and were wearing sportswear.
One was 5ft 1in tall and had patterned tramlines shaved into his hair, and the other was 5ft 9in tall.
