A 14-year-old has been arrested after an Amazon driver was targeted by a group of males outside a collection locker over the weekend.
The incident happened around 4.40pm on Sunday (November 26) when males targeted a driver at the Amazon collection lockers in the car park area of the Lingfield Pub in Coulby Newham.
The suspects reportedly attempted to get into the vehicle and removed the keys, however, they then fled from the scene once police were called.
A number of males made off in the direction of Kings Academy and police followed.
