Driver left on the road after thief takes car

A DELIVERY driver says she is traumatised after a man crept up behind her, pushed her out of her car, got into the driver's seat, and dragged her along the ground as he sped off, leaving her in the road.
Angela Johnson, 54, from Newport, was doing the weekend delivery job she has had for 18 years when a man stole her car as she was getting out of it in Islwyn Road in Wattsville on Sunday evening. Gwent Police are now appealing for any CCTV or witnesses who can help them in their investigation.
Angela said: “At around 9.20pm, I had arrived at my next delivery location on Islwyn Road in Wattsville. I took off my seatbelt and grabbed the bag of food.
“I opened the car door, and as I was getting out of the car, a man pushed me out of the way and said: ‘I want your car.’ He got into the driver's seat and starting driving off.
“I am the type of person to put up a fight, and in the moment, my instinct was to shout and grab the wheel or any part of the car I could.
