A WOMAN was threatened with a baseball bat and forced out of her vehicle during a carjacking raid.

Detectives are hunting two men who stole Lorraine Crick's Volkswagen Golf as she waited for her husband outside the Colliers Arms pub in Tyldesley.

Two men, both wearing dark clothing and balaclavas, approached the 42-year-old and opened the driver door.

They threatened a terrified Mrs Crick with baseball bats and ordered her to get out of the car.

The robbers then drove away in the vehicle towards Tyldesley town centre

The child minder, who comes from Wigan, was not hurt during the ordeal, but was left extremely shaken.

Mrs Crick had arrived outside the pub to pick up her husband who was finishing his drink while chatting to friends about his forthcoming holiday.

Police are appealing for witnesses to the carjacking in Hawthorn Close, at 8pm on Sunday.

They are still hunting the vehicle, with the registration HG 54DYN, which is still missing.

It follows a violent carjacking in August when a driver was pulled from the driver seat of his Toyota MR2 in Plodder Lane, Farnworth, as he waited at traffic lights.

Anyone with any further information about the Tyldesley incident should contact Wigan CID on 0161 856 7209 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111
