Detectives are appealing for information after a car was stolen at gunpoint from a pub in Cheadle.

Police were called to The Huntsman just before 1.40am today (9 January) following a report that a grey Audi S3 had been stolen by two masked men.

The victim, a man in his 20s, was reversing out of the pub car park when a man wearing a balaclava opened the driver's door. A second man, also wearing a balaclava, then pointed a gun at the occupants of the vehicle and shouted at them to get out.

The front-seat passenger, a woman in her 20s, left the vehicle. The driver and back-seat passenger, a man in his 20s, were dragged out by the offenders.

Police are asking anyone with any information to get in touch (Staffordshire Police).

They got into the Audi and drove off, turning left out of the car park towards Blythe Bridge or Draycott.

Specialist officers attended the scene and searched the area, supported by the National Police Service (NPAS) helicopter.

Anyone with any information is asked to get in touch with police.
