After he had stopped, the victim was approached by a man wearing a blue jacket who asked to see his driver’s licence and ordered him to wear his mask.
As he was putting on his mask, the man took the keys out of the ignition and three more men, all armed with guns, got out of the white Mercedes and ordered the victim to get into the back seat of his car.
