A MAN and a teenage boy from Slough, have been charged in connection with a robbery that took place on Wednesday evening, in which a man was punched in the face and had his phone stolen.

Connor Swan, 20, of Hawthorne Crescent, and a 15-year-old boy who cannot be named for legal reasons, were charged with the robbery by detectives last night.

The pair were remanded in police custody overnight to appear before Slough Magistrates’ Court today. The 15-year-old boy has since been further remanded by the court, while Swan has been released on court bail.

Both are due to appear before Reading Crown Court on May 23.
