Police have released CCTV images and are appealing for public assistance, after a man was assaulted and his car stolen in Merewether over the weekend.
About 3pm on Saturday, a 45-year-old man parked a blue BMW M2 coupe on Lloyd Street, Merewether, and sat down on a nearby bench.
A short time later, three unknown men arrived in a Toyota Kluger 4WD – believed to have been stolen from an Islington address on Friday – when they approached the man and punched him before taking his keys, wallet and phone.
All three men drove away in the BMW and were last seen heading west towards Scenic Drive.
Police have released CCTV images of three men they wish to speak to who may be able to assist with their inquiries.
They are all described as being of Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander appearance and aged in their mid-20s.
One man is also described as being of a solid build, with mohawk-style hair and a ponytail. He was last seen wearing a grey hoodie.
A second man is described as being of slim build, wearing a black t-shirt and jeans.
Police are also appealing for anyone who may have seen a blue BMW M2 coupe with NSW registration DSS 71W, or with information about the incident to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
