Detectives in Larne have re-issued their appeal for information in relation to a vehicle hijacking which occurred in the High Street area of the town on the evening of Friday November 4.

Just after 10.25pm it was reported that one male had gotten into the passenger side of a parked car and another male had pulled the female driver out of the vehicle.

They made off in the blue Audi A4, and turned off on the Inver Road.
