Police appeal after assaults on delivery drivers

Takeaway drivers in Bolsover have been assaulted amid an increase in "unacceptable" anti-social behaviour in the town, police have said.

Groups of young people have been gathering near the graveyard and library in the town centre, according to Derbyshire Police.

The Bolsover and Clowne policing unit said two drivers were attacked outside Domino's Pizza in recent days.

Patrols have increased in the area in response to the assaults, police said.

A social media post by the local policing team said: "This behaviour is unacceptable and is being actively addressed by officers.

"We urge parents and guardians to speak with their children about the impact of these actions.

"Businesses and staff deserve to operate safely and without fear."
