Detectives are appealing for witnesses following a robbery and a car was stolen in Woolton on Thursday 22 September.
At around 12.05am it was reported that a food delivery driver was returning to his car after dropping off food to an address on Halewood Road when he was assaulted from behind.
The victim, a 43-year-old man, dropped his car keys in the process and the suspects picked them up and stole his car, a black Kia Niro, which had his mobile phone inside the vehicle.
The victim was not injured but was left very distressed by the incident.
Enquiries are ongoing, including examining CCTV and doorbell footage.
Detective Inspector Barbara Hebden said: “This was a very distressing incident for the victim who was working his shift to earn an honest living, and he was left very distressed.
“We are urge anyone who may have been in the vicinity and saw the incident, including any vehicles who may have captured the event on their dashcam to please contact us.
“We are especially appealing for the driver of a dark coloured Mercedes who may have witnessed the robbery as they drove past to please come forward so we can bring the offenders to justice.”
