CCTV images of two men have been released by police after a 17-year-old Swiss language student was robbed.

Officers think the men may be able to help their enquiries into the incident in Folkestone.

The victim was with a friend in Castle Hill Avenue at about 1.30am on Saturday, October 7, when they asked two men sitting on a bench where they could buy cigarettes.

The men on the bench then searched the victim for money and found his bank card. They walked him to the HSBC cash machine and made him withdraw £100 cash.

The offenders then ran off in the direction of Shellons Street. Both men are described as being in their mid to late 20s.

One was slim build, 5ft 10in tall, with short brown hair. The other was of stocky build and 5ft 6in tall with spiky blond hair.
