POLICE are hunting a robber who pulled his car up alongside a man before getting out and demanding cash.

It happened when the man was walking home from the shops on Central Park Drive, near Aldi, on Thursday (May 3) shortly after 8.15am.

As he waled along the alleyway near the junction of Coton Park Drive and Stonechat Road, a small silver car pulled up alongside him.

The driver then got out and pushed the man several times while demanding cash - claiming he had a knife - but the man managed to run off through the alleyway.

Nothing was stolen and the man was not hurt during the incident.

The thief is described as 5ft 8in with short brown hair and a local accent. He was wearing a grey top.
