Hijacking, South Belfast
30 Dec 2009
Detectives are investigating a hijacking in South Belfast.
Shortly before 9pm on Tuesday 29 December a woman aged in her 20s had just stepped into a parked blue Ford Focus car at Malone Avenue when she was approached by a man.
The man, who gestured that he had a gun, opened the car door and told the woman to get out of the vehicle. She did so and the car was then stolen.
The thief was around 5ft 8 tall and had a dark hooded jumper pulled over his face. A second male may also have been involved.
The Focus car is distinctive in that one of the alloy wheels had been replaced with a black steel wheel. The rear windows are tinted.
