A 17-year-old Hampton boy was robbed last week by three people, he told police.
On Sunday, officers spoke to the teen, who said that about 1:30 p.m. the day before, the three pulled out a gun and demanded the victim's belongings in the 900 block of Aberdeen Road, said Hampton Police Division spokeswoman Senior Police Officer Ashley Jenrette.
After a short struggle, they took the teen's cell phone and cash before running away.
One of the three was described as a black male who appeared to be 15 or 16 years old, standing about 5 feet 5 to 6 inches and had a thin build. He was last seen wearing a red and black knit skull cap with a ball on top, a black T-shirt, blue jeans and black Nike shoes.
Police do not have a description of the other two people.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.
