Four masked men have hijacked a car in the Cornshell Fields area of Derry/Londonderry.
The silver Mistubishi Outlander was taken on the Ballyarnett Road area at around 9.30pm last night.
The vehicle was later found burnt out in the Racecourse Road area.
Police believe it may be linked to a security alert in the city in the early hours of this morning.

"In particular, I am appealing to anyone who was in the Cornshell Fields area at around 9:30pm and witnessed the incident or, who saw the vehicle being driven away, to get in touch with us. I would also appeal to anyone who may have been on Racecourse Road and saw the vehicle there, where it was located burnt out, to call our detectives at Strand Road on 101, quoting reference number 1379 of 10/01/21."
