Lincolnshire Police appeal for witnesses to Fishtoft robbery and assault

Police are appealing for witnesses and information to try to catch the person responsible for a robbery and assault.

Officers say a man got out of his vehicle and was preparing to enter a property on Lindis Road in Fishtoft at about 2.10pm on Wednesday (March 13) when the offences took place.

A force spokesman said: “A passenger exited a silver Vauxhall parked further down the road and then assaulted the man from behind, stealing his rucksack and laptop.

“The offender, thought to be dressed in black and of stocky build, then ran back to the vehicle which drove off and was seen travelling towards Eastwood Road.

“The victim did not get a clear view of the offender and we are now appealing for information to try and identify those responsible.”

Anyone with information is urged to email DC Adam Brown at adam.brown@lincs.police.uk quoting incident number 221 of March 13.
