Appeal for information after attempted robbery in Luton 

Officers are appealing for witnesses after an attempted robbery in Luton.

The incident took place just before 11pm on Saturday (May 13) in Morgan Close, when the victim was sitting in his car and was approached by a group of men wearing balaclavas.

They demanded that the victim give them his phone and also tried to reach inside the car for the keys before punching him several times.
