Police are hunting the two offenders who tried to steal a 19-year-old woman's car after they blocked the road at Goonoo Goonoo Road and Wilburtree Street.

Police have been told the woman stopped at the roundabout to give way about 5.35am when the Nissan X-Trail stopped in front of her.

She told officers two males - described as teenagers - got out of the X-Trail, approached her and demanded she get out.

The quick-thinking woman started beeping her horn to draw attention to the incident and refused to get out.

Police said the teens then got back in the X-Trail and fled the scene.
