Delivery driver assaulted

Wednesday, 28 July 2010

Detectives are appealing for information after a take-away delivery driver was held up and assaulted by armed robbers.

The incident occurred at Ardmillan Crescent in Newtownards shortly before 11.30pm on Sunday. Police received a report that a man in his 20's who was delivering Chinese food was approached by at least four men wearing balaclavas, one armed with a gun and one with one with a baseball bat, who demanded cash.

He was then assaulted and the windows of the car smashed.

He was taken to hospital with injuries to his ribs and bruising to his body.

The thieves made their escape with a small sum of cash.

Anyone with information should contact police at 0845 600 8000, or the Crimestoppers charity anonymously on 0800 555 111.

• Why do we treat cyber crime so harshly, yet let thugs off lightly?

Andy Warhol famously predicted that there would come a time when everybody would be famous for 15 minutes. I have a counter-theory. There may come a time when everyone will be private for 15 minutes.

• It's not just working class who are stuck in sectarian bunkers

There is a grim irony in DUP and Sinn Fein politicians warning about the dangers of sectarianism but Jonathan Bell and Martina Anderson were correct in saying that bigotry isn't just a working-class thing: "Many communities may not paint their kerb stones or put out flags, but scratch the surface and you find the prejudice and the hate whispered behind closed doors or joked about in golf clubs or over dinner parties."
