Four teenagers have been accused of carrying out a robbery spree in the early hours of Saturday.

The youths, three of whom are aged 15 and another 16, appeared at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court on Monday charged with a combined total of 21 counts of robbery and an attempted robbery in Islington.

The allegations relate to five incidents between 3.45am and 7.30am on Saturday and one last Thursday at about 7pm.

The defendants were released on bail and are due back in court in January.
