Pizza delivery man robbed of takings in Telford
Police are investigating after a pizza delivery man was robbed of his takings as he worked during the night in Telford.
The victim - aged in his 20's - was delivering a pizza to an address in Sandcroft in Sutton Hill when the incident happened just before midnight on Friday.
He delivered a pizza to a customer and made his way back to his vehicle. But as he approached his car, two unknown men approached him from behind and asked what he had on him.
The victim, who works for Dominoes Pizza, questioned the men and asked what it had to do with them. One of the men then produced a kitchen knife and threatened the man with it.
The victim handed over around £200, all of which were his takings for the night.
The robbers fled.
They are described as male, aged in their early 20's and around 5ft 9ins tall. They were both wearing dark clothing with a scarf covering their faces.
Police are investigating the matter and have appealed to anyone with information to come forward.
A Telford Police spokeswoman said: "Fortunately the victim was not injured.
"We are eager to trace those responsible so would ask anyone who was in the area at the time and saw or heard anything that could help us with our enquiries to come forward."
Telford Police can be contacted by using the new non-emergency contact number 101. Alternatively information can be passed anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
