Obviously poor quality photos.

And, another funny thing is that the police post doesn't mention the t-word (although it's presumably a PHV), nor provide any indication that it's a licensed vehicle and driver of any kind.

However, the rehash on Lancs Live does use the t-word in the headline, and also crops one of the photos to a more useful size:

The victim said the attackers then drove off in his car

You'd think they might have posted the other photo, though, because there's a vague but recognisable face in that one :?

And another one where it's taken a month to issue the photos :roll:
