A POLICE investigation has been launched after a local woman experienced a terrifying incident last night (Jan 7) when a man forced her car to a stop and another tried to break into it.
Speaking to The Herald, Jamie-Lee Irving, 30, said the man was in the middle of the road when she was driving near Robeston West, Milford Haven, which forced her to stop: “I came over the brow of a small hill and he was standing there waving his hands.”
Moments later, a second man appeared and tried to break into her car: “He said ‘open the f***ing door’ and was yanking the door handle vigorously.”
Thankfully, Jamie-Lee had locked the doors when she spotted the first man. She then drove away, causing the man in the road to jump out of the way.
Her post on Facebook, which has now gone viral around the county, said: “Ladies and gentlemen please make sure when you’re driving country lanes etc at night you lock your doors!
“An incident happened tonight where 2 men attempted to get into my car.
“God only knows what would have happened had they have not been locked!”
Jamie-Lee also says the police have been informed of the incident, but due to the bad weather they will not be able to retrieve fingerprints: “Bit shaken up but the police have been and taken a statement. Unfortunately due to the weather they were unable to get any fingerprints which is a shame.”
The post has already been shared over 700 times.
Jamie-Lee says that the men ‘weren’t British’ and hopes that anyone with information will contact police.
A Dyfed-Powys Police spokesperson said: “Police are investigating a report that a man has attempted to gain entry to a vehicle after it had been flagged down by a second man, near Robeston West, Milford Haven.
“The incident took place at around 7:40pm on Saturday 7 January.
“Anyone with information is asked to contact Milford Haven Police on 101, quoting reference 300.”
