POLICE have released details of a robbery where a man was tricked into thinking he would be sold a car.
The robbery happened in St John’s Court, Buckhurst Hill, where an advert said a silver Volkswagen Golf was for sale.
When the man got there, another man grabbed him and demanded money, before he handed over a four-figure sum.
Police want to know if anyone saw the car being driven in or out of the property on the day of the robbery, April 30, or took it for a test drive.
Witnesses should call Pc Neale Parker on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
