ROBBERIES are again the focus of police attention in Huddersfield.

We are making robbery offences a divisional priority and I would urge the public to support us.

Yesterday we released details of two men wanted for a particularly nasty robbery offence at Grange Moor, where a young man was tied up and beaten after refusing to let a bogus caller into his home.

Hopefully our appeal will bear fruit.

Now we are hunting a man who targeted a takeaway delivery man at Dalton.

Again, this is an offence where I think the distinctive suspect description could lead to an identification.

I am unable to confirm the takeaway in question as this may put the victim and business at risk.

The attack happened on Friday, February 4, between 6.15pm and 6.20pm.

The delivery rider for a Huddersfield takeaway arrived in Harp Inge, Dalton, with a food order.

The victim pulled up on his scooter outside the delivery address and was checking the order, when the suspect approached him and said: “Give me the money or the bike.”
