A teenage boy has been charged with sexual assault and attempted robbery following an incident in Bracknell last month.

The 16-year-old was arrested near the centre of the Berkshire town at around 9.15pm on Sunday, 6 November.

Thames Valley Police were called to reports of sexual assault and an attempted robbery on Crowthorne Road North.

Due to his age, the boy cannot be named for legal reasons.
