"IT IS the scariest set of traffic lights in Sydney and it's got nothing to do with car accidents."
"When a car stops, one thief makes a dash for the car while his mate holds his bike."
"The thief opens the car door, snatches the belongings from the motorist's front seat, then runs back to his bike and the pair speed off at high speed into a nearby residential area."
""They either open the unlocked passenger-side door or smash the window to gain access to the car," Wetherill Park Detective Senior-Constable Allyson Lewis said yesterday. The robberies have become more serious lately, with one of the bandits using a knife to threaten the driver."
"Police believe the thieves target women more than men. "They may believe that they are less likely to report the thefts or be involved in a struggle," Constable Lewis said."
