A 12-year-old boy has been arrested following a robbery in Salisbury city centre.
It happened outside McDonald's restaurant on Winchester Street at about 16:00 GMT on Monday, said Wiltshire Police.
A suspect known to the police "pinned someone against a pillar and stole cash from their pockets", the force said.
"There were a lot of people in the area when this incident took place and we believe part of it may have been recorded on a mobile phone," a force spokesperson added.
