A food delivery driver’s motorbike was stolen by a man armed with a large knife in Swindon last Friday night, Wiltshire Police says.

The serious incident took place in Lawrence Close in Eldene at about 9pm, where two men threatened threatening him with a knife and stealing his black and blue Yamaha 125 motorbike.

According to the victim, one of the men produced a large knife and demanded the keys after he stopped to make a delivery.

The owner of the motorbike placed the keys on the ground and stepped back and the armed man made off on the motorcycle. His accomplice rode off on a pushbike.

The armed man was described as white, of skinny build, about 5ft 11in, wearing all black clothing with a balaclava. The other man was wearing a multi-coloured but mainly white jacket and was also wearing a balaclava.
