Female drivers are being warned about a group of men who have been attempting to get into cars stopped at junctions.

In recent days several women in the Stockport area have reportedly been approached by the men while waiting for traffic lights to change.

One victim, Cala Grant, was approached on Monday this week. Describing the incident on Facebook, she wrote: "Two men attempted to get into my car while I was sat at traffic lights in Offerton.

"As the male was walking towards the driver side he looked like he was just crossing the road then quickly went for my door handle.

"At that time out of nowhere another male was attempting my passenger side.

"Luckily my doors were locked so I just raced off through a red light and nearly got hit by another driver in the process.

"I am ok although shaken up!" she added, warning other drivers: "Please please lock your doors!"

The incident occurred at approximately 7.45pm. The men were described as being Asian and in their early 20s.

Another woman reported a similar incident at the junction of Nangreave Road and Windermere Road. A man jumped in front of her car to make her stop, and then two other men appeared and tried to open the car doors, but found them locked.
