Appeal for Witnesses After Woman Dragged From Car & Robbed

Wednesday, 31 August 2016 14:06

Police in Huddersfield are appealing for witnesses after a woman was pulled from her vehicle in a pub car park on Wakefield Road on Tuesday evening.

The incident happened at 6.30pm. The victim, who was alone in her car, was driving along Wakefield Road in the Grange Moor area when she saw a green coloured Nissan Terrano driving erratically behind her.　

She then pulled into the car park of the Kaye Arms and the vehicle followed her and drove into her vehicle　

People from the car then pulled her out of the vehicle and stole jewellery from her before making off along Wakefield Road.

Their vehicle was then abandoned a couple of minutes later in a car park at the Lepton Liberal Working Mens Club , on Wakefield Road. The occupants then fled through nearby woods and onto the Morrisons car park.　

DS Scott Hartley of Kirklees CID, said:　

"This was a particularly nasty attack on a woman simply going about her daily business.　

"It was also committed in broad day light in a busy area. I am confident people will have seen either the incident itself in the pub car park or the vehicle being abandoned a few miles away.　

"There will have also been people who will have been doing their shopping in the Morrisons car park who could have seen people coming out of the woods that are next to the site.　

"If you saw anything, including the vehicle before the incident please contact police on 101 quoting log 1430 of 30 August."　

The woman was left with minor injuries. She did not require hospital treatment

Police want to speak to around five males in connection with the incident. They are all described as white and aged between 20 and 30 and wearing balaclavas.　

It is thought that the vehicle passed through the Wakefield and Leeds areas.
