Four men are being hunted by police after they failed to stop following a car crash on a country lane.

Police were called to Tysea Hill, in Stapleford Abbotts, at around 7pm last Wednesday (July 5).

A blue BMW Mini Cooper had collided with a black Audi A4, on a stretch of the road close to Stapleford Abbotts Golf Club.

Four men, who were described as being white and in their late-teens to early-twenties, abandoned the Mini Cooper they were travelling in and fled the incident on foot.

A search of the vehicle found that it was displaying false number plates and contained items of jewellery.

  • Anyone who witnessed the incident or has any other information is asked to contact DS David Wilkinson at Brentwood CID on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on: 0800 555 111.
