Police are appealing for witnesses following an attempted robbery on December 4, in Little Paxton.

At about 7.45am two men approached a Huntingtonshire District Council refuse worker at the junction of Park Avenue and Park Drive.

One is described as being of slim build, 6ft, with short black hair, and wearing a black hooded top and jogging bottoms.

The other is described as being of stocky build, 6ft 5”, with short black hair, a black hooded top and jogging bottoms.
