Police are investigating reports that two girls were inappropriately touched at an Overground station.

British Transport Police are also looking into reports of a robbery after a gang of 15 boys and girls surrounded a much smaller group at Watford High Street station.

It happened at 6.40pm on Friday April 12.

Three boys and two girls were sat down on the platform when a much larger group formed a ring around them.

It is believed some of the boys in the group of 15 sexually assaulted the two girls by touching them.

Meanwhile, a number of items were snatched from the victims.

The victims managed to run away while the gang stayed on the platform
