A delivery driver in County Antrim has been robbed by a hammer-wielding gang, who made off with his pizzas.
The driver was approached by the three men at Llewellyn Avenue, Lisburn, some time between 02:20 BST and 02:45 BST on Sunday.
They did not steal money, but made off with the food order. The driver was not injured, however, he was left very badly shaken.

The mind boggles. What's next - fish suppers at gunpoint? :cool:

    Find out who the robbers are and take them to Newcastle with you next time you go. You'll get good service then! :rotfl:

    Just found out that the perpentrators topped themselves.
  • Was this a case of they were expecting something of value to have been in the van but couldn't find anything? Or that they were specifically targeting the man for his pizzas. It would be a particularly disturbing development if the latter is the case.

    The delivery guy had money on him but they didn't take it.

    I think you'd be right to be disturbed as it looks like he was robbed for his pizzas.
  • We were laughing about this at work at lunchtime (While eating our Pizzas) whoops !!

    The only way I can think of this making sense is if they wanted "in" to somewhere... "Hello, you ordered a pizza...?"
    Could work if the boxes have an address on them...
  • I heard they just wanted a 'pizza the action'.
