A delivery driver was assaulted and robbed in a brazen daylight attack earlier this month in Derby, leading local police to launch a public appeal for information. The incident occurred around 10:40 am on Friday, August 9, on Luccombe Drive in the Boulton Moor area.
According to Derbyshire Police, the driver was approached by two men while delivering parcels in the neighborhood. The suspects assaulted the driver before stealing the parcel he was holding. They also attempted to steal his mobile phone before fleeing the scene on foot.
Officers have released images of two men they would like to speak to as part of their investigation. The police believe these individuals may have crucial information that could assist in identifying the attackers.
A spokesperson for the Derbyshire Police said, “Officers are appealing for the public’s help to identify two men in connection with a robbery in Derby. Anyone who recognizes the men or has any information related to the incident is urged to come forward.”
This disturbing attack in a residential area has raised concerns about the safety of delivery drivers and the broader community. Authorities are urging witnesses or anyone with potential footage of the incident, including CCTV or dashcam recordings, to contact them as soon as possible.
Those with information can contact Derbyshire Police on 101, quoting reference number [specific reference number]. Alternatively, anonymous tips can be provided through the independent charity Crimestoppers at 0800 555 111.
The investigation remains ongoing, and police are working to ensure those responsible are brought to justice.
