The hijacking took place on the Quarterland Road near Dundrod

A man has had his car stolen after he was lured by a fake call for help at a roadside near Dundrod in County Antrim.

It happened on the Quarterland Road at about 20:00 GMT on Tuesday.

He was driving a silver BMW and pulled over to help a woman whose car was parked at the roadside and displaying hazard lights.

He was then approached by two men who threatened him with iron bars and hijacked his car.

The vehicle was later found burnt out on Ballycolin Road in Dunmurry.

Police want witnesses or those with dashcam or CCTV footage of the incident to contact them.
