Man threatened with knife in Corby robbery

Police investigating a robbery in Corby where a man was threatened with a knife while £1,000 of tools were stolen are appealing for information.

At around 8.30pm on Sunday, December 10, the occupants of a property in Waterside Lane heard a noise outside.

When a man inside went out to investigate, he found three men had cut their way into a locked van on the driveway and were in the process of stealing items from inside it.

One of the men held up a kitchen knife and told him to go back inside.

The three then left the scene in a silver Honda Civic believed to have been on false number plates.

All the suspects are white men, dressed all in black and wearing face coverings, and believed to be between 25 and 30 years of age.

The man who held the knife was around 6ft and the two others were around 5ft 8in.

Anyone with information which could be relevant to the investigation, including CCTV, smart doorbell or dash-cam footage, is asked to contact Northamptonshire Police on 101.
