AN Examiner van with 1,000 newspapers on board was stolen by robbers.

The driver was delivering to a corner shop on Riddings Road in Deighton when the thieves struck at 2.30pm yesterday.

They knocked the victim to the ground, stole his keys and sped off in the van.

The Fiat van is white with the Examiner name emblazoned on it.

The registration number is AK55 VJX.

The van was on its way to Bradley and Elland when the robbery happened.

Other vans took as many papers as possible to replace the stolen ones, but some parts of Elland missed out.
