A MAN tried to steal a postman’s trolley and satchel before fleeing in a Jaguar.

The man approached the postman, aged in his 40s, while he was delivering in Queens Park Avenue in Bournemouth. 

He reportedly tried to steal his post trolley and grabbed at his satchel bag before being pushed away.

The man then got into the back of a silver Jaguar parked in Mount Pleasant Drive.

It is reported the driver of that vehicle then got out of the car and exchanged words with the postman before driving off.

The postman did not sustain any injuries and no items were stolen.

The incident happened at around 9.50am on Friday, March 1.

“I am particularly keen to speak to the driver of the silver Jaguar.

“I would also urge motorists with dashcam who were in the area at the time, as well as residents with home CCTV systems or doorbell cameras, to please check their footage to see if they have captured anything of relevance.”
