Nissan 200SX car jacked during test drive

A teenager trying to sell his car got more than he bargained for when it was stolen at gun point during a test drive at around 9 o’clock last night. The incident took place at the intersection of Bent and Yeo Streets, near the seller’s home in Neutral Bay, Sydney.

The dark blue 1997 Nissan 200SX was advertised on carsales.com.au and the two men came to the north-shore home under the pretence of buying the car. Shortly after agreeing to join the men on a test drive the seller was threatened with a gun and forced out of the car. Fortunately, the 19-year-old was not hurt during the ordeal.

Given the car is over 10 years old and not especially desirable in its own right one could speculate that the offenders are hoping to use the car for further crime related activities.

The registration of the stolen Nissan is AT58ZV. Police have asked anyone who sees the car or who may have witnessed last night’s incident to come forward by calling Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. A brief description of the alleged thieves can be found on the link below.
