A teenager was put in a headlock and robbed while walking near a Dundee playpark on Saturday afternoon.
The 17-year-old was walking near a playpark between Scotscraig Road and St Fergus Primary School in Ardler between 12.50pm and 1.25pm when he was attacked.
An older male grabbed him in a headlock before stealing a sum of money from him.
The youth was not seriously injured but was left shaken by the attack.
Police investigating the mugging say they want to trace a man described as in his early 40s who is about 5ft 6 tall.
He was wearing a dark jacket and was possibly in possession of a dog chain or similar item.
Anyone with information that could assist officers with their inquiries should call Police Scotland on 101 or speak to any officer.
