TWO men have been arrested in connection with the robbery of a pizza delivery man.

The 26-year-old was allegedly punched in the face when he got out of his car to deliver the food to a house in Alexandra Road, Colchester, on July 6.

He told police he was then ordered to hand over the pizza bag, which contained two pizzas, a bottle of cola and two bags of cookies.

A 17-year-old man and a 23-year-old man were arrested at the weekend on suspicion of robbery.

They have since been released on police bail, pending further inquiries, until the end of August.
