Woman is left shaken after her car is hijacked in north Belfast

The PSNI put out a press statement in the name of a Detective Sergeant Wilson, who said: “We received a report that a man approached a woman who was in a parked car, a red Mini Cooper. This was at approximately 7.55am, and happened just as the woman was leaving work.

“The man, who was wearing a grey hooded top and grey bottoms, opened the car door and ordered the woman out. He then drove off in the direction of Annesley Street.

“The woman, while physically uninjured, has understandably been left shaken.

“This happened just before 8am, when people would have been out and about going about their business, and I am appealing to anyone with information, or who may have captured dash cam footage, to contact us on 101 quoting reference number 494 of 31/07/21.”
