It is alleged a man wearing a balaclava approached a delivery driver as he returned to his van and asked for the keys to his vehicle before assaulting him. A second man then reportedly threatened the victim before both suspects left the scene with a white Vauxhall van containing a number of parcels.
Detectives have since arrested two men from Cambridge and a teenager from London in connection with the incident. Investigating officers are now seeking witnesses to the robbery and have also released a CCTV image of a white Ford Ecosport believed to be linked to the incident. Anyone with information is urged to call 999, quoting reference 46/198806/24. Local residents with private CCTV, and drivers with dashcam who may have been in the area at the time of the incident, are also asked to check for relevant footage.
