Street snatch car found

Police investigating an incident in which a Bradford woman was run over by her own car have found the stolen vehicle.

The Vauxhall Astra was found on Friday morning on Winburg Road in the Lidgett Green area of the city.

A 17-year-old youth has been arrested in connection with the incident on Tuesday in which the car's owner was left badly injured.

The 54-year-old woman who owns the Vauxhall car was left with a broken leg after she disturbed three youths acting suspiciously around another car on North Side Road in Lidgett Green.

She threatened to call the police, but one of the teenagers grabbed her keys and got into her car.

The woman leapt into the passenger seat to try to stop him, but was threatened with a screwdriver.

Teenagers quizzed

As the thief drove off she dived from the car and suffered leg injuries when the vehicle ran over her.

And West Yorkshire Police say they still want to trace a man who made a call to the police on Friday morning as he may have vital information about the incident.

Meanwhile, a 13-year-old youth arrested on Thursday evening in connection with the incident remains in police custody.

Three other people - aged 15, 16 and 18 - who were all arrested on Wednesday have been released on police bail pending further inquiries.

The woman is being treated for injuries, including a broken leg, at Bradford Royal Infirmary.
