Four people forced a man out of his car in Papakura early today, stealing the vehicle and crashing it into a fence a short time later.
Police said the man was ordered out of the green Toyota hatchback on Tilbrook Cres, Red Hill, just after midnight.
The car was found abandoned about 2km away on Old Wairoa Rd. The car owner was unhurt.
