masked robber fled in victim's Ford Transit after the incident on Cleveden Road last night
Detectives are appealing for information after a delivery driver was robbed in the west end of Glasgow.
The 30 year old man was making his way back to his white Ford Transit van on Cleveden Road when he was approached by another man who threatened him with a knife.
The man then took the victim’s keys and mobile phone before making off with the van along Cleveden Road towards Glasgow city centre.
The suspect is described as in his late 20s to mid 30s, 6ft tall and of medium build.
He was wearing a black tammy hat and had a dark coloured snood covering the lower half of his face. He was also wearing a dark coloured jacket and dark trousers.
Detective Inspector Alasdair Barlow, from the Community Investigation Unit based at Govan, said:
“Thankfully the victim was not hurt during this incident but it was nonetheless a very frightening experience.
“Cleveden Road would have been busy with other motorists and pedestrians at the time and I would urge anyone who witnessed what happened or saw anything suspicious to come forward.
“Anyone with information can contact officers at the Community Investigation Unit based at Govan via 101. Alternatively you can call CRIMESTOPPERS on 0800 555 111 where details can be given in confidence.”
