This comes a few months after a young girl jumped from a car that was being stolen from a petrol station in Belfast. The 10-year-old girl was left "shocked and shaking" after escaping from the stolen car while waiting for her father. Colin Ashwood, the girl's father, explained that he was paying for petrol in the Spar store when he saw his daughter run from the car. "She came running in squealing saying: ‘Daddy, daddy - someone is stealing the car. By the time I got out to the car he had sped away," he said. "It is just the way he walks up to the car, gets in, and then sees my daughter in the passenger seat before jumping out and running away." “My daughter came in shaking and squealing and crying."
