They all got onto the moped and rode into Old Portsmouth, police say.

According to the police, the rider is a white teenager between 15 and 17 years old, who is around 5ft 8in tall.

A spokesman from Hampshire Constabulary said: ‘Do you recognise any of the men in this image? Maybe someone you know has recently started riding around on a Yamaha moped?

‘Or perhaps you remember seeing three men riding on a mope on December 29?

‘Anyone with information can call 101, quoting 44190465120.’
