Police today appealed for witnesses after a man was threatened and robbed by a gang in Baildon on New Year's Eve.

The 27-year-old man had parked on Northgate, near the Malt Shovel pub, at 8pm.

He used a cash machine before returning to his black Vauxhall Vectra and saw a silver Nissan Micra registration L482 KCX parked behind. As he got inside five men dragged him out. One man was carrying a metal bar, and they demanded the car keys and cash from the driver. The man refused and the gang made off with his jacket. They drove off in the Micra towards Shipley, leaving the Vectra behind. They were described as Asian and aged from 18 to 25.

Anyone with information is asked to call Det Con Amanda Hancox on (01535) 617059.
