Police are appealing for witnesses after a man in his 50's was taken to hospital following a robbery in Kenilworth on Monday (July 18).

At around 12.40pm the victim was making deliveries in a white Transit Van when a man in his 20's is reported to have tried to drive off in the vehicle.

The victim attempted to stop him through an open window but was thrown from the van as the suspect drove off along Coventry Road towards Coventry.

The van soon crashed into a ditch and the suspect left the area on foot.

Warwickshire police say he is described as "a white man, in his 20's, tanned, of stocky build with short brown hair".

The victim was taken to hospital but was later discharged having suffered leg injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.

A Warwickshire Police spokesperson said: "Enquiries are currently ongoing and we're asking anyone who witnessed the initial robbery or the collision to get in touch.

"We're particularly keen for anyone with dashcam footage to provide it to help with our investigation.

"Anyone with information should report it online or call 101 quoting incident 295 of 18 July.

"Alternatively, you can call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
