Witnesses to attempted robbery in Barlborough

Officers want to speak to witnesses to the attempted robbery of a car in Barlborough.

The incident took place just before 9am, on Friday, May 3, in a car park off close to the Harvester Pub, at Tally’s End, Barlborough.

The victim, a 28-year-old woman, was threatened by a man who demanded she hand over the keys to her car.
