Police are hunting for a driver who allegedly tried to drag a woman into his car as she walked along a Llanelli street. The victim has been left badly shaken after the incident on Saturday night.
It is alleged a man tried to drag her into his car when she refused to get in. Officers say they are investigating after receiving a report about the incident in the Bynea area of the town and have released a CCTV image of a car.
The woman reported that a man in a dark red, possibly burgundy coloured car approached her around 11.45pm on Saturday (January 20) while she was walking along Tan Y Graig Road from the British Royal Legion pub.

The man, described as having dark hair and an accent that is not local to the area, asked her to get into the car. When she would not, he exited the car and tried to drag her to the vehicle.
Officers say the woman managed to escape to a nearby house, and was not harmed but is understandably shaken by the incident.
Extensive CCTV and house to house enquiries have been carried out, and police are now appealing to the public to help them identify the car and the driver.
A statement from Dyfed Powys Police said: "The investigation has established that the car travelled along Hendre Road from Tan Y Graig Road. We are encouraging local people to check CCTV and doorbell or dashcam footage for sightings of the car.
"The incident is being treated as isolated at this time."
