A WOMAN five months pregnant was taken to hospital after she was forced to hand over the keys to her £50,000 BMW after being confronted by two men.

The woman had just parked outside her home in Windsor Road, Prestwich, and was getting out of the vehicle when a man grabbed her handbag from inside the car. Another man then appeared, took the car keys and the two drove off.

Following a police chase, the two abandoned the vehicle in Lowther Road, Prestwich, and fled. The woman was taken to North Manchester General Hospital for a check-up. Witnesses should contact police on 872 5050.
