Screwdriver mugger steals phone

Date published: 05 July 2009


A mugger used a screwdriver to frighten his victim into handing over his mobile phone.

A 34-year-old man was approached as he walked along Newbold Hall Drive at 9.30 on Tuesday evening (30 June).

He was first ordered to hand over his iPod, before the mugger made off with his phone.

The mugger is described as white, in his late 20s to early 30s, with stubble, wearing a woolly hat, jeans and a black top.
