A woman was robbed at knifepoint outside a Horsforth pub.

The woman, who had been servicing gaming machines at the Fox & Hounds pub, in Tinshill Road, was sitting in her car in the car park at about 11.10am on Monday when she was dragged from the vehicle at knifepoint by two men wearing balaclavas.

She was thrown to the ground behind the car and the robbers tried to reverse the vehicle while she was still behind it. She managed to get clear and the robbers drove off.

The blue Ford Fiesta was later found abandoned in Holtdale Green, Holt Park. A briefcase containing personal property, including bank cards and a mobile phone, had been taken.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or saw the car being abandoned in Holt Park or anyone with any information is asked contact PC Lindsey Houghton at Weetwood police station via 0845 6060606 or to contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
