Officers in Biggleswade are appealing for witnesses to come forward after an
attempted robbery took place in the early hours of Sunday morning (November
12th).
A man was driving down Hitchin Street to find a white van parked in the
middle of the road with its full beam headlights on. Two men then got out of the
vehicle with one holding what appeared to be a crow bar. The men approached the
victim’s car and demanded that he got out. The victim refused and reversed up
the street to get away. The offenders tried to follow the victim, but he managed
to lose them in the surrounding roads.
The first offender – who was holding the weapon - has been described as
white, in early 30’s, of stocky build and was wearing a woolly hat and dark
clothing. The second offender was also white, in his early 30’s, of slim build,
blondish short hair and was wearing jeans and a dark jacket.
The officer in charge of this investigation, Detective Constable Luke Moore,
is eager to hear from anyone who may have witnessed the incident or seen the van
in the area before or after the attempted robbery..
Anyone with information about this crime can contact DC Moore, in confidence,
on 01234 275357, Bedfordshire Police on 101, or text information to 07786
200011.
Alternatively contact independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800
555 111, or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org
Stay calm – always report the offence immediately to the
police. Try to remember what the offender looks like and was wearing, with a
good description and your quick action officers will have a better chance of
catching the offender.
