Another pizza delivery worker has been the victim of a robbery in Milton Keynes.
At approximately 2.45am on New Year’s Eve, a man arrived in Rowsham Dell in Giffard Park in his car to deliver a pizza.
As he went to leave his car, he was approached by two masked men from the direction of Railway Walk who were shouting and both holding knives.
One of the offenders lunged at the victim, causing him to fall back into his car. The offender demanded that he hand over the pizzas and any cash which the victim did. Both offenders then ran back towards Railway Walk.
The first offender is described as aged in his late teens to early twenties. He was wearing a dark hooded top and a mask similar to a Guy Fawkes protest mask but black with a white smile.
The second offender is also in his late teens to early twenties. He was wearing a dark hooded top, blue jeans and a facial covering.
The two knives are described as large black hunting style knives with a shiny cutting edge.
No one was injured during the incident. Two pizzas and an amount of cash were stolen.
Investigating officer detective constable Scott Dempsey said: “This was an incredibly distressing incident for the victim who was simply making a delivery as part of his job.
"The knives and the mask involved are very distinctive and I urge anyone who recognises the description to make contact with police or anonymously via Crimestoppers.
