POLICE are appealing for witnesses or anyone with relevant dashcam footage to come forward following a report of robbery in Wareham.
At around 9pm on Thursday July 4, a woman in her 50s was in her vehicle in stationary traffic on East Street when another car, described as grey or blue and possibly a hatchback, pulled in front of her.
A woman who was known to her got out of the vehicle and approached the victim before reportedly assaulting her and stealing her car and house keys.
The woman then reportedly got back into her vehicle and drove off.
The victim did not sustain any serious injuries that required immediate medical treatment.
