TWO motorbikes blocked an oncoming car before trying to get into the vehicle on a Basingstoke road. 

Just after 4pm on Tuesday, December 5, two motorbikes blocked an Audi car on Rooksdown Avenue, near the Roman Road roundabout.

Seconds later, the riders got off their bikes and attempted to open one of the car’s doors.

The motorist inside the car was able to drive off. The men on motorbikes then rode off towards Rooksdown. Nothing was stolen.

Officers have since been carrying out various enquiries, and police are now appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident to get in touch.

A spokesperson for Hampshire Constabulary said: "Were you in the area at the time? Did you witness the incident? Do you have dashcam footage or CCTV images that may help our investigation?

"The motorbikes have been described as being red and black, high powered and with no registration plates.

"The two men on the bikes have been described as being white and wearing balaclavas.

"If you witnessed this incident, or have dashcam footage, please call 101, quoting the reference 44230496936."
