A MAN who was asleep in his car early today was threatened by two masked youths with an iron bar who stole his vehicle.

The incident on Kingsley Road, Worsley, is understood to have followed a row between the victim and his wife, which saw him leave the house to sit in his Citroen Saxo.

But after he had fallen asleep he was approached by two youths with an iron bar at 1am, who demanded he handed over the car keys and get out of the vehicle. It was later found abandoned in Croftside Grove, Worsley.
