A TEENAGE girl was robbed at knifepoint by a masked man in Basingstoke.

The 17-year-old was approached by a man who threatened her with the blade on a grassy area at the junction of Claythorpe Road and Dibley Close, in South Ham, at around 10.50pm yesterday.

He stole her white iPhone and £10 in cash, before fleeing the scene on foot.

The man is described as white, aged in his late teens, around 5ft 7ins tall and of a skinny build.

He wore a hat and a scarf that was pulled up to cover his face.
