Police are appealing for information after a robbery in Asda car park, at Fosse Park, Leicester.
A 31-year-old woman was in her vehicle when a man got into the passenger side and threatened her.
She drove off with the suspect in the car. Police said the woman escaped sometime later and the vehicle was found in the Blaby district.
The robbery happened at about 5.30pm on Wednesday, November 21.
The suspect is white, aged between 24 and 29 and about 5ft 7in to 5ft 10in. He is clean shaven, of slim build and was wearing a black tracksuit and black woollen gloves and hat which covered his eyebrows.
Detective Constable Bill Beechey said: "This was obviously a very distressing incident for the victim and was a frightening experience.
"Asda car park is often busy. I would like anyone who saw a man acting suspiciously between 4.30pm and 5.30pm on Wednesday, November 21 to get in touch.
"It is possible that he approached others before targetting the victim. If you saw him, or he approached you please contact me."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Det Con Bill Beechey on 101.
