An investigation has been launched after two women were threatened with a knife before having their cars stolen in Oldham.
Sometime before 8.30pm on Tuesday 12 June two women parked their cars at Tandle Hill Park and walked into the park where they sat on a bench.
The women were then approached by four Asian males who were armed with a knife.
They threatened the duo and told them to handover their car keys.
The women did as ordered and two of the men got into their cars – an orange Fiat Punto and a black Seat Ibiza - before driving off towards Rochdale.
The other two men got into a white transit van and drove off towards Oldham.
Both the women were not injured but were understandably shaken up
Detective Inspector Ian Harratt, from GMP’s Oldham borough, said: “This was a brazen robbery on two innocent women who were simply having a catch up in the park on a summer’s evening.
“These men terrified them into handing over their keys but thankfully they weren’t hurt in any way.
“We are treating this as an isolated incident and have had no further reports of this nature so far.”
