Gang of masked men with a machete threaten woman and steal her Audi

Shocking CCTV footage has captured the moment a woman was threatened with a machete by a gang of carjackers who stole her Audi convertible from outside her home.

The victim was ambushed by a gang of four masked men – one carrying a machete – after she parked up outside her home in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport, in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

As the woman got out of her car, a convertible Audi A3 with a red soft-top roof, she was confronted by a man with a large blade. He held it to her throat and demanded she hand over her car keys.
