POLICE are appealing for information after a fast food delivery driver was robbed at knifepoint.
The victim, a 35-year-old man from Hornchurch, had received a call asking for food to be delivered to an address in Southfield Road, Grays, at 9.10pm on Sunday, April 5.
Dc Clive Day, of Grays CID, said: "This address does not actually exist.
"The victim called the customer’s number and was told to drive to the end of Fairfield Avenue, where they would meet him.
"When the victim arrived, he was met by a group of about five young males and handed the food to one of the group.
"Two of the boys placed knives to the left and right hand side of his body while a third stole about £100 cash from his pocket .
"The group then ran away into the estate.”
The suspects are believed to be aged in their late teens.
Witnesses or anyone with information is asked to call Dc Day on 101.
