Detectives are appealing for witnesses after a car was stolen at gunpoint on Priory Street, Tower Hamlets.
Police were called around 02.51 hrs on Thursday, 3 June to reports of a car having been stolen on Priory Street. The vehicle is a white BMW 3 Series.
The driver, with a woman in the passenger seat, was parking on Priory Street when two men approached the car on either side from St Leonard’s Street.
The men demanded the driver to open the door and get out which he refused to do. When the woman called 999, the two suspects ran away.
A short time later, the driver and the woman felt satisfied that the men had left, unlocked the car and opened the doors. As they did so, the same two men approached the vehicle again, demanding the driver to get out. He refused until one of the suspects produced a knife and a handgun, pointing them towards the driver.
