Police are hunting a bogus car-buyer who ran one woman over and dragged another under the vehicle they were selling from outside a suburban house – hospitalizing both.
The first victim – a 33 year-old pregnant woman – had advertised her Audi A3 for sale and met the potential buyer in Dorset Road, Mitcham, South-West London(pictured)at 7:30pm on May 24.
The black male suspect locked himself inside the vehicle and sped away – deliberately driving at the seller – and dragging the second victim, a 54 year-old woman, four metres along the road.
Detective Chief Inspector Adnan Qureshi of Merton CID, said: “This suspect was intent on stealing this vehicle and thought nothing of mowing down two women, one of whom was pregnant.
“A team of detectives is working around the clock to trace this suspect but I would like to take this opportunity to appeal to anyone who may have witnessed the actual incident, anyone who has any knowledge of the location of the person responsible, or the silver Audi that was stolen to contact the police.”
The suspect is described as a black man who was approximately 35 years old of stocky build and has a distinctive scar, which runs from the right-hand side of his forehead across and down his nose.
The 33 year-old woman has been discharged from hospital, but the 54-year-old remains in a stable but critical condition.
