A pizza delivery rider was robbed of his takings after making a delivery to a house in Banbury.

The 17-year-old, who did not want to be named, was attacked as he returned to his motorbike in Hearthway on Tuesday evening.

He was confronted by a young man while a second pushed a blunt instrument into his back. They demanded he hand over his takings and they escaped with £61. The youth was unhurt.

Both offenders are described as about 19 years old and wearing dark clothing. One was about 6ft tall and the other around 5ft 8ins.
