An armed gang terrorised a young man before stealing his baseball cap.

The robbery occurred after three teenagers pulled up beside their victim in Hart Road, Thundersley, at around 10.45pm last night armed with a small machete, hammer and butterfly knife.

They asked the young man for his hat and then produced their weapons.
