Car Jacking - Drivers Attacked with Guns and Knives

[JGD]

Worryingly two car jacking incidents so close together in last few days.

The first in Bromley involved thugs using guns whilst impersonating police officers.

The second in Sydenham attacking the driver with knives and inflicting multiple wounds whilst he was de-icing his car.

In both cases vehicles were driven off by the crooks.

Be alert to people approaching you.

Reading the reports, it would seem that changing the heading to "guns or knives" might be more accurate? Bad enough, either way.
