The youths ran away empty-handed when a dog walker came over to help.
The attack happened at 4pm on Friday, January 4. Police released details and appealed for witnesses today.
Detective Constable Caroline Wright said: "It could be that you were in the area at the time and remember seeing this.
"Do you recall any more details about the suspects? Did you see them in the area at all that day?
"Also were you the dog walker? There is a good chance that you could remember details about this crime that help our investigation. We'd therefore really like it if you could get in touch."
The youths are Asian, 16 or 17, 5ft 8in or 5ft 9in and of average build. They were all wearing dark clothing and one of them had a small pouch bag which had a long red and black shoulder strap.
