A FINANCIAL adviser was run-over by thieves driving her car.

The 31-year-old woman suffered minor bruising and cuts when three teenagers pushed her to the ground in a daylight attack in Woodhill Drive, Prestwich, on Wednesday (April 5).

The keys to the woman's Fiat Ibiza were snatched from her hand and the three thugs jumped into the vehicle. The woman jumped in front of the car but was knocked down as the thieves drove off.

The victim, who did not want to be identified, said: "I saw the three teenagers seconds before the attack. I didn't think anything would happen. They then pushed me to the ground and grabbed my car keys.

"The thieves had no intention of stopping when I jumped in front of my car."

Police are now appealing for witnesses to the robbery which happened at 2.55pm. The teenagers were white and wearing dark-coloured baseball caps.

Any information should be directed to Whitefield CID on 0161 856 8250.
