Mother’s terror at the hands of a carjacking gang who stole her car

Police are hunting a gang of men described as Asian after the woman was stopped by the group when they pulled up to a set of traffic lights in Solihull, Birmingham on Saturday evening.

The men demanded she got out of her car but she refused, telling them her baby was in the backseat. As she went to check on her child, one of the men jumped into the driver’s seat and sped off.

They raced off down Seven Star Road towards Warwick Road with the mother and baby still inside.

They pulled into a side road where the woman managed to escape with her baby before the thieves drove off.

Police said one of the suspects is described as being around 5ft 10ins, of stocky build with facial stubble and wearing a navy blue tracksuit.

The car they were originally in is described as having blacked-out windows.

In a statement Detective Sergeant Stew Lewis said: ‘There were a lot of people in the area when the robbery took place and I would ask them to get in touch if they haven’t done so already.

‘Luckily the woman and her baby were not hurt but the woman is very shaken by what happened.’
