'Ill man' hijacks helper's vehicle on Racecourse Road, Derry
A man has had his vehicle stolen after stopping to help a man who appeared to be ill at the side of the road.
The man was driving along the Racecourse Road in Londonderry, close to the border, when he noticed two men at the side of the road.
One appeared to be ill and the driver stopped to offer assistance.
When he got out of his silver Mitsubishi pick-up, one of the men pushed him to the ground and both then drove off in the vehicle.
It was found abandoned a short time later in the Bloomfield Park area of Derry.
One of the men is described as being in his late 20s, about 5ft 10ins tall, of medium build, with short black hair.
He was wearing a dark hooded sweat-top, dark jacket with a high collar and jeans.
The second was also said to be in his early 20s, about 5ft 8ins tall, thin, with short brown hair. He was wearing jeans and a dark sweat-top.
Police have appealed for witnesses.
