A Southfields woman had her car stolen while she was opening her garage door in Hanford Close last Wednesday.

The 58 year old got out the car at 7.40pm to unlock the door when a man jumped in the car and drove off. Her 72-year-old companion, who had been leaning on the green VW Polo, fell over and suffered cuts when the car drove off.

The man is described as white, 21, of medium build and wore a grey woollen hat and grey jacket. Call 020 7350 1122.
