Recently, a shocking incident caught on CCTV has been making headlines. In broad daylight, an elderly woman and her daughter were viciously attacked by two carjackers. The footage shows the two men lying in wait as Lynn Elwell, 62, was backing her new Mercedes A Class out of her 82-year-old mother's driveway in Willenhall, West Midlands.
As Lynn was reversing, one of the thieves came running up and forcefully opened the driver's door, causing her to fall out of the car and onto the ground. In the video, it appears that Lynn was kicked multiple times as she held onto her car. In a brave move, Lynn's 82-year-old mother, who was wearing a dressing gown and slippers, rushed over to help her daughter.
The grandmother can be seen standing in front of the car, trying to prevent the thieves from escaping. However, the situation quickly took a turn for the worse as the carjackers drove straight at Lynn's mother, causing her to jump out of the way just in time. The two women fought fiercely against the criminals, but unfortunately, they were left battered and bruised.
This terrifying incident took place on the morning of February 28, leaving both women physically and mentally traumatized. Lynn had stopped by her mother's house to drop off her dog before heading to work as a hairdresser. Reflecting on the incident, Lynn shared, "It was horrible. It leaves you feeling mentally scarred. After something like this happens, you're always looking over your shoulder."
She added, "I've never experienced anything like this before. I actually grew up in that area and never once did I have any trouble. I never expected something like this to happen." The two women put up a brave fight against the criminals, but unfortunately, they were overpowered. The police have since launched an investigation into this violent carjacking.
Lynn also revealed that the incident has affected her business and her sleep. She said, "They also took my hairdressing bag, which has affected my business. It was never this bad in the area when I was young, but now it's much worse. My parents are also feeling unsafe now." She further added, "There have been a number of similar incidents in the area. Not long after what happened to me, there was another attack just down the road. The area is getting worse."
As a result of the carjacking, Lynn had to get a new car, but unfortunately, she had only had it for a few days before it was stolen. The thieves also used her card, causing her additional financial stress. Lynn concluded, "It's a horrible experience. I hope the perpetrators are caught and brought to justice."
