Delivery driver threatened at knife point by four attackers
A delivery driver has been threatened at knife point by four people during an incident in Sudbury.
It took place in the town on Beatty Road last night (Thursday, March 2) at some point between 7.20pm and 7.35pm.
A delivery driver in his white Ford transit van delivered a package to an address and as he walked back to his vehicle he was grabbed by four unknown males and pushed up against the wall of a garage.
One male pulled a knife out and demanded he hand over his mobile phone and his vehicle keys.
An unknown dog walker then approached with her dog barking. At this point the males, described as wearing dark clothing, ran off and as they fled the scene one made a failed attempt to snatch the vehicle keys.
The offenders were seen to run up Beatty Road in the direction of Springlands Way.
Officers are keen to speak to the dog walker who disturbed the offenders as well as any other witnesses or who saw any suspicious activity at the time. They should contact Bury St Edmunds CID, quoting crime reference 37/12577/23.
