A man had his car stolen as he was about to take it through the car wash at Morrisons on Kingsway on Monday (8 September).

At about 6.20pm the 65-year-old was punched to the ribs and pushed to the floor while he was putting a guard on a windscreen wiper of his blue Golf.

The offender then got into the car and drove off onto Kingsway and through a red light.

The victim was left very shaken as a result of the robbery but was not injured.

The car was later recovered in the Waithlands Road area.

The offender is described as white, aged 20 to 30 years with shoulder length black hair covering both sides of his face. He was wearing dark clothing.

Anyone with any information is asked to call the robbery unit on 0161 856 8632 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
