Man threatens to stab women as he steals their car in Northampton Asda car park
A man threatened to stab two women if they did not get out their car as they left a Northampton Asda car park.
The incident happened between 2.20pm and 2.40pm on Thursday January 22, as the woman were driving out of the Asda car park in Harborough Road in a black Nissan Juke car.
A Northamptonshire Police spokeswoman said: “As they sat in stationary traffic, a male opened the driver’s door and threatened to stab them if they didn’t get out of the car.
“The women did as he asked and the offender got into the car and drove off towards Cranford Avenue or Kingsland Road, hitting the curb as he went. The car was later found in Balmoral Road.
“We only have a very limited description of the offender who had grey or blonde short facial hair and was wearing a blue baseball cap, a blue long sleeved zipped jumper and grey jeans. He spoke with an English accent and had a blue vape.”
Officers would like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or who may be to help identify the offender.
