'Car thief' tries to run over woman owner in Minster

Police officers on the beatby Emma Grove

Police are hunting a man who almost ran over a woman after allegedly stealing from her car on the Isle of Sheppey.

The victim was heading towards her vehicle in Waterloo Hill, Minster, when she saw a man with the mud guards from above her car's wheel arches.

When she challenged him, he got into another car and reversed - almost hitting her.

She was standing behind his vehicle and managed to get out the way just in time.

The man sped off in the direction of Minster Working Men's Club in nearby Union Road at around 10.50am on Monday.

The suspect is described as white, around 5ft 10in, of large build and with a round face.

He was wearing brown-framed glasses, a dark beanie hat and a dark fleece.

The car he got into was described as a dark blue estate.

Witnesses or anyone with information is asked to phone Kent Police on 101 - quoting crime reference XY/7681/13 - or Kent Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
