Two Sears delivery drivers were forced at gunpoint into the back of their truck and then taken from Hampton to Norfolk while the two robbers dropped off appliances at several locations.
The drivers were making a delivery in the first block of Tupelo Circle about 9 a.m. Tuesday when two masked men approached and forced them into the back of the 24-foot delivery truck, a Hampton police news release said. The hijackers then drove the truck through the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel to the 1100 block of W. Ocean View Ave. in Norfolk where they abandoned the truck.
The drivers escaped from the truck after it was abandoned and called police about 12:45 p.m. They told police that there were several stops during the trip from Hampton to Norfolk where appliances were dropped off.
Hampton police are asking for the public’s help to identify the robbers or help them determine where the truck stopped during the hijacking.
Anyone with information should call Hampton police at (757) 727-6111 or Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP. Tips may also be sent by texting the keyword 757HPD and the tip to 847411 (tip411).
