A suspected attempted car jacking has occurred on a country road.

A woman, who lives in Finchingfield, has posted details about the incident on social media.

It is the second incident to have happened this month.

The woman posted on Facebook: “I was the subject of attempted car jacking around 4.45pm between Wethersfield and Finchingfield.

“A silver car pulled across the middle of the road with its hazards on near Petches Bridge.

“I slowed down and rolled down my window and a man with a beanie hat and foreign accent murmured something.

“Next to him was a girl with long bleached straight blonde hair.

“As I stopped, the girl and someone else in the rear seat started getting out.

“I then realised what was happening.

“I sped off and called the police.

“It was a silver car with front light out.

“Be very careful everyone and please spread the word to relatives and friends.

“These are dangerous people and will stop at nothing.”

On December 6, a Fiat Abarth 500 was car jacked on the B1057 between Great Bardfield and Finchingfield.

The two passengers were forced to get out of the car by two men, after being flagged down by a woman.

The car was later found burnt out in Vicarage Road, Finchingfield.

Police have warned people to be cautious.

An Essex Police spokesperson said: “Police have been made aware of reports of a vehicle acting suspiciously on the B1053 near Wethersfield and rumours circulating on social media of attempted car jackings.

“Enquiries by officers have not disclosed any offences being committed at this time.

“We would advise anyone who sees any motorists acting suspiciously to call us so we can establish if anything requiring our attention is happening.

“We would always tell members of the public to take common sense precautions to ensure their safety and to never place themselves in any position which would leave them isolated or vulnerable.

“If someone tries to flag you down on a road and it does not feel right then do not stop.

“Call police on 101 or 999 if it is an emergency and report what you have seen.”
