At around 5.15pm on Sunday 20 November, a 33-year-old man was delivering parcels in Swinton in a black Volkswagen Golf, when he pulled into a layby on Golden Smithies Lane for a break. It is reported that a dark-coloured Transit van then pulled into the layby behind him and three men got out. The men, who are described as white, wearing dark clothes and with their faces covered, are reported to have threatened the 33-year-old before taking a number of parcels from his vehicle. It is understood the Transit van’s registration plate began with the letter ‘K’. Do you live in the area and did you see this van?
