Hitchhiker robbed by gang of men
A HITCHHIKER was robbed on the side of the road by a gang of men, police believe.
A 24-year-old man was hitchhiking on the B4066 at Selsley yesterday evening at around 6pm when a car pulled up alongside him.
The victim was confronted by a number of males in a light blue car, possibly a Ford Fiesa or Citreon Saxo.

"We believe a number of people were involved in the robbery and would like help in finding them."
