Here is a round-up of the latest news from police incidents across Gloucestershire as of Wednesday, January 22.

Police are appealing for information after two men robbed a delivery driver in Brockworth on Thursday afternoon, 16 January.

Two men wearing balaclavas approached the driver after he stopped and got out of his vehicle on Clyde Road at around 3.15pm.

They asked him to hand over a parcel and, when he refused, one of the men made threats to harm him.

They then took around 23 parcels from his van before driving off in a dark coloured Audi A3.

Officers have been reviewing CCTV and are now asking for anyone with dashcam or doorbell footage who has not already spoken to police to come forward.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Gloucestershire Police using the following form, quoting incident 194 of 16 January: https://www.gloucestershire.police.uk/contact/af/contact-us/us/a-crime-that-has-already-been-reported/

Police are appealing for witnesses after a man sexually assaulted a woman in Gloucester city centre in the early hours of Sunday morning (19 January).

The victim, a woman aged in her 30s, had been waiting for a taxi on Southgate Street near to Tesco Express when an unknown man approached her at around 2.15am.

He tried talking to her and when she said she was not interested, the victim reported that he got annoyed and he tried to touch her. The man leant up against her, and put his hand up her dress without her consent.

She was able to move away and tried to ring a friend for support, and the man then walked off. The woman is shaken by the ordeal.

The man was described as being older.

CCTV is in the process of being reviewed, however police are keen to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time and saw what happened.

Police are appealing for information after a firearm was discharged in Gloucester on Saturday, January 18 and a man was injured.

Officers were called to Stanway Road at 9pm with a report that a man, who is aged in his 40s, had sustained a suspected gunshot wound.

He was taken to hospital for treatment and remains there today (Sunday). A woman was also injured during the incident and after receiving treatment at hospital she has since been discharged.

It is understood that three suspects travelled to the location on two motorcycles and that the incident happened outside an address on Stanway Road.

Investigative work has been taking place overnight and a scene guard remains in place while enquiries continue at the location.

No arrests have been made at this stage.

Investigating officers are keen to hear from anyone who saw the two motorcycles being ridden in convoy in the Coney Hill and Abbeymead areas last night, or anyone who has CCTV or dashcam footage which could assist police.

They were all wearing dark-coloured clothing and helmets.

Detective Inspector Paula Hannaford said: “It is really concerning that a firearm has been discharged on our streets and two people have been injured. This level of violent crime will understandably cause concern within our communities, and it will not be tolerated.

“We’re doing everything we can to identify those responsible and we’re asking for any witnesses or anyone with relevant CCTV or dashcam footage to come forward.

“Witness statements have been taken and we are in the process of reviewing CCTV footage, however, we are still keen to hear from anyone with information about those involved.

“There will be an enhanced police presence in the area while our enquiries continue, with extra patrols taking place.”
