Delivery driver 'targeted' for goods in his van in 'nasty attack'

A delivery driver was hit around the head before his van was stolen during what has been described as a "nasty attack".

Detectives are investigating the incident where the driver suffered an injury to his head before three men took his vehicle and drove off.

It happened in Coronation Road, off Woodthorpe Drive, in Woodthorpe, at around 4.35pm on Friday, August 28.

Detective Sergeant Luke Todd said: "This was a nasty attack where a delivery driver has been targeted for the goods in his van.

"The victim suffered a wound to his head which was treated in hospital but luckily wasn't as serious as it could have been.

"The van is described as dark coloured Vauxhall panel van.

"We are keen to hear from anyone who might have seen anything suspicious in the area or who might have dash-cam footage that could help.

"It is unacceptable to target a delivery driver as he goes about his job and we won't tolerate it in Nottinghamshire."

If you did see anything suspicious or have any information that could help, please call us on 101 quoting incident 472 of 28 August 2020. You can also call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
