Motorist threatened with gun
Police are investigating after a van driver was threatened at gunpoint by a motorcyclist in Lincolnshire.

The rider held sawn off shot gun to the man's head and swore at him.

Officers say the van driver had parked his white van on a farm track close to the A52 south of Hogsthorpe near Skegness when a motorcyclist pulled up.

He asked the van driver for directions and a short time later hit him and then pulled out a saw off shot gun.

Detectives say the motorcyclist then put the gun to his victim's head and swore at him, saying "make sure he gets the money tomorrow".

The motorcyclist then drove off towards Hogsthorpe.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact the police.
