BMW gang attack car at lights near Kettering

A driver using the main road from Kettering to Corby had their car attacked by a gang of young men - one using a bat or bar to damage the vehicle.

The gold Chrysler Grand Voyager car was stopped at red traffic lights close to the A43 'hamburger' roundabout near Kettering when three white men got out of a black BMW 118 Series and started the attack.

Gang members kicked the car's passenger wing mirror, tried to open the car doors, and caused damage with a bat. The driver of the BMW stayed in the car but drove into the back of the Chrysler before driving off.

Police are looking for four white men in their late teens who were in the BMW on the A43 (the former A6003) between 5pm and 5.20pm on Thursday, March 17.
