Four men allegedly assaulted a security guard at the Booker depot on Cupola Way in Scunthorpe in an attempted burglary on Sunday (23 April) evening. They forced their way into the premises using a forklift.

The police were notified at around 11.30pm on and are currently investigating the incident.


“Having reportedly caused damage to a wall, the men then attempted to take a safe before fleeing the scene in a van,” a spokesperson for Humberside Police said.

“Thankfully, nobody was seriously injured as a result of the incident.”

Booker remained closed to the public on Monday, with a scene guard in place throughout the day.
