PSNI appeal after 'terrifying' hijacking in West Belfast

Police are appealing for information after a hijacking incident in West Belfast on Wednesday morning.

The incident took place at around 6.55am on the Mulhouse Road, facing the Westlink.

The male victim, aged in his fifties, was waiting in his parked car – a black Volkswagen Polo – when two men approached the driver’s side.

Detective Sergeant Duffield added: "One of the suspects threatened him, ordering him out of the car and demanding his mobile. The two then got into the car and drove off.

“The pair are thought to be in their mid-twenties. One was wearing a green hooded-top with grey trousers; the other wore a black and grey hooded-top. Both had their hoods up.

“This was a terrifying ordeal, which happened in a busy area, and at a time when people would have been heading to work.

“I am appealing to anyone who witnessed the incident, or who may have captured dash cam footage, to contact us on 101 quoting reference number 220 of 24/11/21.”

Information can also be provided to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.
