CLINTON, MD – Maryland State Police (MPD) reports that the public’s assistance is needed by MPD in helping to locate three to four suspects involved in an armed carjacking Friday night in Prince George’s County.
Shortly after 10:00 p.m. Friday, September 6, 2024, the Prince George’s County Police Department contacted the Maryland State Police Forestville Barrack for a report of an armed carjacking. According to a preliminary investigation, the victim, who is not being identified at this time, was traveling westbound on the Allentown Road ramp to northbound Branch Avenue, when two dark colored vehicles (unknown make or model), boxed the victim’s red Dodge Charger in and three to four suspects, wearing black ski masks, pointed a firearm at the victim and subsequently stole the Dodge.
While speaking with the victim, investigators learned that the vehicle had been located on Suitland Parkway, just west of Stanton Road in Washington, D.C. and had appeared to be involved in a prior crash causing it to become disabled. Investigators also learned that the vehicle was involved in several other crashes throughout D.C. prior to being located.
