CCTV released of Harpenden incident

Описание: Detectives investigating an assault at a petrol station in Harpenden are appealing for witnesses and information.

At around 7.10pm on Thursday, December 18, a grey Peugeot believed to be either a 406 or 407 estate was driven onto the forecourt of the Tesco Express service station in Lower Luton Road.

Staff in store were made aware that the vehicle had tape obscuring its number plates. A staff member, a man in his mid-20s, went out to speak to the driver but the car then collided with him. It drove away from the scene.

The car is believed to have contained up to four people; the occupants were described as men with dark complexions aged between their late 20s and early 40s.

Detective Constable Robert Muir is investigating and said: “The member of staff was very lucky to not have been more seriously injured in this incident and to only escape with grazes and bruises.

“We have made the decision to release the footage of the incident to show how serious it was and in the hope that someone is able to identify the people involved. If you believe you know who the car belongs to or who was driving it at the time of the incident please contact me as soon as possible.”

Anyone with any information in relation to this incident is asked to contact DC Muir via Hertfordshire Constabulary’s non-emergency number 101, quoting crime reference F2/14/1744. Alternatively people can call Crimestoppers, the independent charity, anonymously on 0800 555 111.
