Attempt robbery – The Drift, Harlaxton

We are investigating a report of an attempted robbery that happened on The Drift in Harlaxton between 6.20pm and 6.50pm on Wednesday 27 November.

Two people report being threatened by three men as they parked in a layby near the bridge that runs over the canal on The Drift, between Harlaxton and Barrowby, near Grantham.   

One of the men used a baseball bat to threaten the couple.  They had arranged to meet a man having seen an advert on Facebook for a Fiat motorhome.

We are appealing for the occupants of a car that drove along The Drift causing the three men to flee across the bridge.

We are appealing for help to identify the car which drove by the incident and the people who were inside it.  We are also appealing for anyone who may have seen anything they think maybe connected or any video footage from a dash cam, door camera or other CCTV recording device. 

We are asking people to check any footage they have which covers The Drift which runs from the A607 in Harlaxton and joins Low Road and Rectory Lane where it meets the A52, in Barrowby.  We’d also ask people who live in or near Daybrook Close or any of the roads that run off The Drift, Low Road or Rectory Lane in both Harlaxton and Barrowby to check any available footage from 6pm up until around 7.30pm on Wednesday 27 November. 

Anyone with information that can help is asked to call DC Asher or DC Lacey quoting 24000707224 on 101 or by email at [email protected]
