Hungry thieves robbed a takeaway delivery driver in Birkenshaw at the weekend.
The 36-year-old driver, from Batley, was in Birkenshaw Lane around 11.20pm on Sunday when the incident happened.
He had picked up the fast food from a Cleckheaton takeaway and was taking it to the customer in the village when he was approached by two men.
