Woman 'Shaken' Following Carjacking

A woman is said to have been left "badly shaken" following a carjacking in Belfast.

The incident happened on the Antrim Road, near to the junction of Chichester Road, on Monday (19 January). At around 10.40pm, the woman was walking towards her car – a black VW Polo – when two males ran from the direction of Chichester Road and demanded she hand over the keys to the car.

The males are thought to have been around 19 years of age and one was armed with a hammer. The female victim attempted to run away from the men, but they caught her, grabbed her keys and stole her car.

The woman was not injured in the incident, but was left badly shaken.

Anyone with information, or who may have witnessed the incident, is asked to contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
