Car Jacking
Belfast car hijacked with 9-year-old girl inside
Child was forced from the vehicle after men stole her brother’s car and drove off.
A NINE-YEAR-OLD GIRL was sitting inside a car in south Belfast when it was hijacked at around 5.30pm yesterday evening.
The girl’s 25-year-old brother was forced from the car by three men who then reversed the vehicle into a wall and drove off.
The child was also forced out of the car a short distance later and made her way back to the place the car had been taken from, outside Domino’s Pizza on the Lisburn Road.
She was not injured, the BBC reports, although her brother has a bruised cheek after being punched by one of the men in the incident. The car was later discovered burnt out around the Albert Street area.
Police in south Belfast are appealing to anyone who may have information regarding the incident to contact them, UTV reports.
