Police are appealing for assistance to find a man who impersonated a police officer during a robbery in Woodberry, Maitland earlier this month.
About 10.45pm on Friday 8th May, a 20-year-old male delivery driver attended Oakfield Road, Woodberry, to meet up with a pre-arranged online customer.
As the delivery driver arrived, another car pulled up behind his vehicle, before a man approached his car window claiming to be a police officer.
The man reached into the vehicle, attempting to remove the keys from the ignition, before assaulting the 20-year-old driver.
He then stole a package from the back seat and ran back to the other vehicle before it drove off at speed.
The man is described as being of Caucasian appearance, aged in his 30s, with a tattoo on the front of his neck, wearing a grey hooded jumper and dark trackpants.
Detectives are urging anyone who may live in the nearby area with CCTV or dashcam footage between 10pm and 11.30pm on Friday 8 May 2020, or who may have seen or heard anything suspicious to contact Maitland Police Station on 4934 0200 or call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
