PC Alex Peacock of the Chief Constable’s Crime Squad said: “Thankfully, both victims managed to drive away unharmed after the suspects gave up and fled. We don’t know the motive yet, as the men were strangers to the victims. Our enquiries are ongoing and we urge anyone with information to come forward.”
Police are especially keen to hear from motorists in the area who may have dashcam footage. The suspects’ car is described as a silver VW Golf, registration starting CP56.
