The victim had been leaving his home address in the Deansway on his motorbike at around 2pm on Tuesday, July 21, when another motorbike rider with a passenger pulled up to his drive.

The passenger reportedly got off the black Yamaha bike, which had a burnt out registration plate, and approached the victim shouting and threatening him with a hammer – demanding he hand over his motorbike keys.

A spokesman for West Mercia Police said: "The victim passed him his keys however the suspect was unable to start the bike.

"The suspect got back on the black Yamaha motorbike he had pulled up on and they have driven off in the direction of Hurcott Road, throwing the victim’s keys onto a grassy area at the end of the Deansway.

"Both suspects were wearing dark clothing with one rider wearing a black helmet and the other wearing a red helmet."

Anyone who witnessed the incident, or has any information as to the identity of the two suspects, is asked to call West Mercia Police on 101 quoting log number 22/60659/20.
