Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Hertfordshire police want to hear from any drivers who witnessed the hijacking of a Tibbett & Britten truck.

The 62-year-old driver's twohour ordeal started when a yellow VW Golf forced him to a halt on Harper Lane, a road used as a common approach to the M25 and within a quarter of a mile of the motorway's London Caney junction.

Two hijackers, one armed with a revolver, bundled him into the passenger footwell, covering him with a coat. The two men then drove the white Iveco

Ford rigid, which is liveried with an Olympus logo, to Hersham, Surrey.

The driver was transferred to an estate car and was dumped in Molesey Road. His truck, minus its £22,000 cargo of Olympus clothes, was abandoned in Lion Road, near the Hersham Trading Estate.

The incident, which lasted from 06:00 to 08:00hrs on 5 April, left the driver very shaken up.

Anyone with information should contact D/Sgt Hugh Borgeat on (01727) 796000.
