POLICE are appealing for information following a violent robbery in Headley Down.

The incident occurred last Thursday, between 10.15am and 11.15am, in Gorselands Close, where the victim, a 49-year-old man, noticed two men trying to remove tools from his VW Transporter van parked in the street. He tried to stop his tools from being stolen and was violently assaulted.

The suspects drove away in a white Peugeot estate car, having taken two Paslode nail guns in orange plastic boxes.

Both the suspects were white men - one being 6ft 2ins tall, of muscular build and aged around 30.
