Driver pulled over by 'police car' - then he's left with broken jaw in sickening robbery

A driver has suffered a broken jaw and eye socket after he was robbed when pulled over by what he thought was the police.

Unfortunately, when the man stopped for the ‘police car’ it became apparent that it was in fact a vehicle full of robbers.

The victim, a man in his thirties, was driving southbound along the M40 between High Wycombe and Beaconsfield in Buckinghamshire when another car collided with his.

He was then instructed to pull over by another vehicle displaying blue lights, with the man immediately pulling off of the motorway and stopping at a layby on the A355.

When he stopped his car, the man was pulled from his car by a group of men, who then went on to assault him, causing injuries which required hospital treatment.

In the horrendous robbery, which happened at about 9.15pm last Sunday, his phone, wallet and keys were all stolen.

The men who took part in the attack are believed to have arrived in a red Nissan and a dark coloured Volvo.
