A PIZZA delivery woman was threatened at knifepoint during a terrifying robbery in a Hampshire town.

The 28-year-old woman was sent to deliver food to a home in Desborough Road, Eastleigh in the early hours of the morning - only to be told by the occupants that they had not placed an order.

When she left, she was approached by a man who produced a knife and demanded the pizzas and her handbag and bumbag, which contained a small amount of cash.

The robber then ran off down an alleyway between Desborough Road and the High Street.

He is described as aged around 20 of slim build and wearing dark clothing including a dark hat. He also had a moustache and had stubble around his face. He had dark coloured eyes and dark hair.

The victim was left shocked by the incident on July 13 at 12.45am.

Anyone who witnessed the robbery should call Detective Constable Toru Tsuzaki at Eastleigh CID on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 1111.
