The man’s van was stolen while he tried to deliver a parcel.
Detectives are appealing for witnesses after a man was dragged alongside a moving delivery van during a theft. Emergency services were called to Derby Road, Bramcote, after a man’s van was stolen while he tried to deliver a parcel.
When the thief started driving off in the white Peugeot van, the owner tried to stop the moving vehicle but was instead dragged along with it. The man suffered injuries which are not believed to be life-threatening after falling to the ground during the incident at around 1.45pm on Wednesday, October 26.
Police are now appealing for anyone who saw anything, or has dash-cam footage filmed on Derby Road, to come forward following the "incredibly dangerous" incident. PC Hannah Lees, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This was an incredibly dangerous incident which could’ve quite easily left the van owner with life-changing injuries.
