Thugs threaten takeaway driver with weapon and try to steal his food

Police are investigating after a takeaway driver was threatened with a weapon in Stockport.

Officers were called to a report of a food delivery driver being threatened with the 'weapon' on Saturday afternoon.

GMP said the offenders tried to steal food from the driver, who was not hurt during the robbery at 3pm yesterday.

One person has been taken into custody, but officers are appealing for further information following the incident on Pendennis Road in Heaton Chapel.

They want to speak to two people who were apparently filming the incident.

Anyone with information is being asked to come forward.

In a post on the GMP Stockport page last night, officers said: "We are appealing for information in relation to a robbery that occurred today.

"Our officers were called to Pendennis Road, Heaton Chapel to a report of a food delivery driver being threatened with a weapon.

"On our officers arriving it was established it had happened at 3pm and suspects had attempted to try and steal food.

"Thankfully no one was hurt.

"We currently have one person in custody but we are still within our initial investigation.

"We are particularly interested in speaking to two persons who were seen filming the incident and any other witnesses.

"If you have any information please contact us on 101 quoting incident reference 002327-09052020 or you can use our online chat facility.

"Crimestoppers is also available whereby you can give information anonymously."
