Sedan stolen at knifepoint, NSW

Police are searching for a man after a car was stolen at knifepoint from St Clair overnight, NSW Police say.

It was about 8.40pm today, when a 40-year-old woman stopped her 2005-model Toyota Camry sedan in the driveway of her home in Morningbird Close.

Police have been told a man, wearing a balaclava and armed with a knife, opened her door and told her to get out of her car.

The woman got out of the car and called for help from her husband, who was inside their home.

He came to her assistance and attempted to stop the car from being taken but was forced to let go and the car was last seen being driven away.

Police from St Marys Local Area Command were called to the home and established a crime scene.

Police are now appealing for public assistance to locate the maroon 2005-model Toyota Camry sedan, NSW registration AJ 98 HA; officers are urging anyone who finds the car not to touch the vehicle, and instead call their nearest police station or Crime Stoppers.
