POLICE are appealing for information following a robbery on the A130.

It was reported a white Tipper van was driving between the Sadlers Farm roundabout and the Fairglen interchange at around 1.15pm on 10 January when two other vans pulled in front of it.

This forced the driver to stop his vehicle at which point a group of men got out, damaged his vehicle, assaulted him and stole a four-figure sum of cash from inside.
