Couple threatened with knives during street attack

ROBBERS threatened a couple with knives to steal a £1,000 gold chain.

A 39-year-old man and his girlfriend (29) were approached by three men as they walked home from the Red Bull pub in Masbrough.

There was a scuffle and the alleged offenders made off with the chain, but not a matching bracelet the woman was wearing.
