An 89-year-old man was carjacked in Harrow Weald today after being threatened and forced out of his vehicle in broad daylight.
The incident happened on College Hill Road outside the parade of shops at around 10:30am. The elderly man was left shaken after being approached by a man, threatened and forced out of his vehicle in full view of the public.
The concerned grandson of the man said: “It’s very shocking that this could happen in broad daylight and in such a public area. I think the pandemic has maybe made people let their guard down because you kind of expect people to come together at a time like this. And I would just advise all people (especially the already vulnerable) to stay vigilant even when they feel they’re in a safe area”.
A Met Police spokesperson told Harrow Online: “Police were called at around 10:35hrs on Wednesday, 28 October to College Hill Road, Harrow.
