Police are appealing for witnesses after a delivery driver was assaulted and his van and packages stolen.
The driver had parked his van in West Road, Sandy, at 5.30pm on Wednesday, January 14 and was about to deliver a parcel when he was pushed in the back.
When he turned around he was hit in the face and his keys ripped from his waistband.
