Man robbed making phone call
Mobile phone
The victim had parked his car to make a call
A man was robbed at knifepoint as he made a phone call from his parked car.

The victim had pulled over to the side of Stricklands Lane in Penwortham, near Preston, at about 1730 GMT on Monday.

Two men approached the silver VW Golf and one grabbed him by the shirt, holding what is thought to be a knife to his throat.

The pair demanded money and stole the victim's mobile phone, car keys and jacket containing his wallet.

The man was left shaken and suffered a small wound on his neck.

The robbers were both white, aged in their mid teens to early 20s, and were wearing dark hooded tops.
