THIEVES posing as police pulled over a motorist, ordered him to get out of his car then drove off with it.

Between 6.55pm and 7.10pm on Tuesday, April 3, a man was driving along Epping Road when three men driving a grey Ford Mondeo with flashing blue lights in the grille and dashboard signalled for him to pull in.

The man stopped in a layby and the three men identified themselves as police officers and ordered him to get out of his grey Volkswagen Golf before driving off with it.

The thieves were wearing dark clothing, black stab proof vests, radios, caps and jackets with the word ‘police’ written on them.

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call PC Joseph Leppard on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
