Armed robbery and UUMV, Runcorn
Police are investigating an armed robbery in Runcorn this evening where a man’s car was stolen.
At 9.30pm, four men attended a Comet Street address to view and test drive a 2008 biege Audi A4 with Queensland registration 264LBC.
Two members of the group entered the vehicle along with a 33-year-old male resident of the address and his friend, a 21-year-old man.
During the test drive one of the males from the group produced a firearm and told the 21-year-old man to exit the car.
The 21-year-old was then punched in the head causing his mouth to bleed before he and his 33-year-old friend exited the vehicle.
The car was driven back to the Comet Street address where the remaining two members of the group entered the vehicle, which was then driven away.
The 21-year-old man did not request medical attention.
Investigations are continuing.
