A teenage delivery driver was robbed and forced to hand over the keys to his car in Auckland Drive, Bevendean, Brighton on Friday.
The victim, 18, was walking back to his car, having made a take-away delivery when he was approached by the offender at around 10.15pm.
He was threatened with violence and forced to hand over the keys to his blue Fiat Punto car, which the offender then drove off in, heading along Auckland Drive towards Heath Hill Avenue.
The victim was not physically hurt but was left in shock by the incident.
The thief is described as a white man, mid-20s, 5ft 9in, with slight stubble and short dark hair. He was wearing a dark coloured jumper with dark skinny jeans.

Was this delivery driver to insure to use a private car to deliver takeawa
Is that the most productive thing you could have said?!
I’m sure the car thief/mugger was not insured to drive the car, surely that is more important than whether the driver may/may not of been insured, he is the victim here. It’s a shame that a young man trying to earn some money should have to experience this, hope you manage to get s new vehicle or recover you’re old one and are not put off by this.
