Woman pulled from her car and had it robbed after pulling over on A6
Police are appealing for dashcam footage
An investigation's underway in Lancashire after a woman was dragged out of her car - and had it stolen from her while parked up.
She was driving on the A6 towards Chorley from the Middlebrook direction on Tuesday (20th July) at around 6.30pm.
She got a text so pulled over into the lay-by at the Blackrod Bypass somewhere between the junction with Bolton Road at Westhoughton near to The Royal Oak and Grimeford Lane.
Two men approached her white BMW M235i, smashed her window and pulled her out of the window.
Her car was later found abandoned in a nearby field.
No arrests have been made but police say enquiries are ongoing.
DS Paul Price , of Chorley CID, said: “This was a terrifying incident for the victim and it has understandably left her extremely shaken.
“Enquiries are ongoing to identify the suspects and I am asking the public to get in contact if they saw the white BMW in that area before or after this shocking incident occurred. I would also ask people to check their dashcam footage to see if they have picked up the BMW travelling from the Greater Manchester area before 6.33pm or indeed after the incident.”
Anyone with information or footage is asked to email 4625@lancashire.police.uk or call 101, quoting log 1370 of July 20, 2021.
