ROBBERS HIJACKED a DHL truck driver before stealing his load of computer equipment in Erskine. Scotland at around 10.30am on 23 August 2005.

The truck was driving past Erskine Hospital when a male exited a white van, forced the truck to stop and entered the cab. He threatened the driver with a weapon and forced him to drive to a remote road near Arkleston Cemetery.

The driver was bundled into the van and driven to south Glasgow, where he was released. The truck was later recovered minus its load.

Police are hunting two suspects. of medium build, and wearing baseball caps with scarves over their faces. DC Robert Welsh says: "The driver was left in a very distressed state. I would appeal to anyone who saw either of the vehicles involved during the incident to contact us. I would also urge anyone to contact the police if they are offered computer equipment for sale in unusual circumstances or if they have doubts over the origin of the goods."
