A spokesman for Lincolnshire Police said: "While out of the van the driver was approached and pushed to the ground. The assailant then took the van keys and drove away in the van. The van driver was not injured.

"The direction of travel once out of Mill Crescent is unknown. The exact contents of the van are not known at this stage. Generally the contents will have been items of furniture."

The offender may have emerged from a silver estate car but this has yet to be confirmed.

He is described as of skinny build, 5ft 8in to 5ft 9in tall. He wore a black hooded top with the hood up and dark blue tracksuit bottoms.

Any witnesses are asked to contact Detective Constable Kev Kay of Gainsborough CID via the non-emergency 101 number. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
