On Wednesday 6 July, at around 10.30am a courier driver returned to his vehicle on Victoria Avenue East when a man opened the van door and put a knife to his stomach, shouting at him to get out of the van.

Once the courier driver had got out of the van, the man got into the driving seat and drove the van away from the scene toward Newcliffe Road.

Officers attended the scene and found the van on a nearby housing estate. A large quantity of parcels had been stolen from the van.
