Dame Joanna Lumley was targeted by a gang in an attempted car theft from outside her London residence.

Reporting from the Daily Mail indicates that the perpetrators were an Eastern European gang who targeted Lumley’s £2.5m townhouse.

The incident involved masked motorbike thugs who approached the vehicle. During the encounter, the gang threatened Lumley’s husband with an iron bar.

Attempted Theft in Stockwell

The attempt took place in Stockwell, where the thieves managed to break into the actress’s car. However, they were unable to complete the theft.

According to The Telegraph, the thieves were unable to make a getaway because they don’t know how to start it.

The attack on Lumley’s vehicle was not an isolated incident. The gang targeted at least three other vehicles on the same street during what has been described as a weekend crimewave.
