Police are appealing for witnesses after a car owner was threatened and forced to hand over their keys in the early hours of this morning.

Warwickshire Police said at around 2am today (April 4) a blue Audi S3 was stolen from a layby near to HS2 works on the B4115, Stoneleigh.

The victim returned to their vehicle having walked their dog.

The masked offenders approached the victim from behind and held an unknown object on the victim's neck.

They then directed the victim to give them the keys.

The stolen Audi in convoy with a second vehicle left the scene, travelling in the direction of Leamington.

"Do you have any information relating to this incident?" a force statement said.

"Do you have CCTV/Dashcam footage?"
