WASHINGTON — There has been another armed carjacking in the area on Friday night and it could be linked to other carjacking abductions earlier this week.
The most recent carjacking was on Alabama Avenue in Southeast D.C. around 8 p.m. when a blue, 2011 Chrysler 300 was taken, Metropolitan Police say.
Police officers are looking for two black men in their early 20’s who are described as wearing black masks and being armed with handguns. Police say one of these men is responsible for two carjacking abductions just days apart in November.
Police say each case involves a woman forced to withdraw money from multiple banks at gunpoint.
D.C. police are also searching for three men who carjacked a couple at gunpoint in broad daylight while their baby daughter was in the backseat, ABC 7 reports.
An Alexandria, Va. couple was stopped at a red light in the 900 block of Mount Olivet Road in Northeast D.C. Wednesday afternoon when a car hit their car from behind. The husband then got out of the car to inspect the damage, when he says a man jumped into his car through the open driver’s side door.
Another man then opened the rear passenger door and pulled the victim’s wife out at gunpoint. When she screamed for her baby, the gunman threw her 1-year-old onto the ground.
