Police investigate Wellington robbery
Police in Telford are investigating after a man suffered a head injury whilst being robbed on the junction of Bank Road and Orchard Way in Wellington on Sunday.
At just after 8.15pm the victim locked up his shop on Mill Bank and made his way back to his car on Orchard Way.
