Gardaí in Co. Wexford are appealing for witnesses after the latest in a string of attacks on female motorists.
According to a report in the Wexford People, the woman was driving to work at 6.25am on Wednesday morning when she spotted blue flashing lights. After she stopped her car near the Corramacorra Junction, a man impersonating a Garda emerged from the passenger seat of a dark coloured Ford Mondeo and approached her.
The woman was assaulted and robbed of a sum of money she had in her bag before the attackers sped off in the direction of Murrintown.
The victim required hospital treatment at Wexford General Hospital.
Gardai are appealing to anyone who may have seen a dark coloured Ford Mondeo in and around the area to contact Wexford Garda Station on 053-9165200 or call the Garda Confidential Telephone Line on 1800 666 111.
Earlier this week both the Gardaí and the AA made an appeal for vigilance after a woman was forced onto the bonnet of her car between Tramore and Waterford City, assaulted and robbed in an early morning ordeal that left her “extremely traumatised”.
The victim described her attacker as having an Eastern European accent.
A second attack was reported in Grenagh, Co. Cork on January 13. A good Samaritan who stopped to help a man at the roadside was held at knife-point before her car was stolen.
