TWO teenage boys were allegedly mugged in Greenock town centre in broad daylight.

A man approached the 14-year-olds just after 4pm on Saturday on West Stewart Street and is said to have grabbed money from them before making off.

Police were contacted and traced the suspect, who is 28-years-old.

Officers say he was found in possession of the money and a substance believed to be cannabis, along with a number of white tablets believed to be valium.

He now faces prosecution.
