A45-year-old-man had his business takings snatched from his car on Thursday, July 11.

The incident happened outside a property in Toddington Road in Luton at about 12.20pm as the victim was leaving home to go to the bank.

The victim put a bag containing the cash in the front seat of his car but returned to his home to check that he had locked the front door. As he did this a man smashed the window of his car and snatched the cash before getting in to a black hatchback car which was being driven by another person.

The culprits then drove from the scene towards Leagrave Railway Station.

The first offender is described as a white man, approximately 5ft 6ins tall, 30 years of age and well built. He wore a black baseball cap and a black jacket. There is no description of the car driver.

The officer in charge of the investigation, Det Con Dave Elias is keen to trace other motorists who were in the area.

He said: “The offenders clearly saw the victim placing the money in to his car and other motorists may have seen the men sitting in the black hatchback car prior to the robbery.

“We also know that several other motorists stopped close to the scene and watched what was happening as the robbery was taking place but these people have not yet contacted the police.

“These people are important witnesses and I would urge anyone who witnessed this incident or anyone who has information about the men responsible to contact the police, in confidence.”

Anyone with information relating to this crime can contact Det Con Elias at Luton Police Station, in confidence, on 01582 394376, or Bedfordshire Police on 101, or text information to 07786 200011.

Alternatively you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
