POLICE are hunting three hooded youths who threatened a worker in Warrington with a knife before making off with his van and mobile phone.
The incident took place at around 3.35am this morning on Hardwick Grange in Woolston, when the man was approached by the three youths who demanded his keys and mobile phone.
