The boy was arrested on suspicion of robbery in Walsall.

He was also questioned over an assault after another boy was punched in the face on The Bridge earlier this month.

He was further quizzed around the theft of a mobile phone in Thorpe Road on August 20.

He has since been released on bail with strict conditions while police continue their enquiries.
