A spokesperson for Hertfordshire Constabulary said: "The suspect is described as a black teenage boy, aged approximately 15 to 16 years old, tall and of skinny build.

"He was also described as wearing a black Trapstar coat with a large hood and jogging bottoms."

The victim's father claimed the robber was also wearing a black balaclava, and urged people online to check door bell footage and CCTV for around the time it happened.
