E-Fit Issued Of Man Following Robbery Of Motorist In Leconfield

Humberside Police say they are continuing their investigation with regard to the robbery of a man on Old Road in Leconfield on Monday 23 September.

As part of their investigations, they have issued an E-Fit showing a man who they are keen to identify in connection with the incident.

The incident happened in the early hours of the morning. A man reported that he was driving a VW Caddy along Old Road in Leconfield when he came across what looked like a road traffic collision.

A motorcyclist was laid in the road with another man looking after him. The driver stopped and opened his window to ask if he could assist at which point one of the men is alleged to have assaulted the driver and the other stole two mobile phones from within the van by opening the passenger door.

The driver drove quickly away from the scene and reported the incident to us. He has been left with a serious wound to his arm which needed hospital treatment.

Detective Inspector Andy Crawforth said;

“I would like to appeal for witnesses to the incident or for anyone who saw anyone acting suspiciously in the area at the time.”

“The victim said that the men spoke with Liverpool accents and that he may have injured one as he drove away.”

“I am also reminding members of the public to express caution if they come across a road traffic collision, especially during the hours of darkness.” 

“If you are alone in your car please exercise caution if you feel it is safe to stop, ensure you do not put yourself at any risk.”

“Remain in your vehicle with the doors and windows closed and locked so you can assess what is going on prior to doing anything else.” 

“Call the police when safe to do so. Please consider the use of the What Three Words app to help point the location if in a rural setting.”

If you know who this is in the e-fit please call police on the non-emergency number 101 quoting log 24 23/09/19.
