Strong-arm carjacking in Takoma Park


Takoma Park police responded to a report of a strong-arm carjacking last night, February 9, 2023, at the intersection of Westmoreland and Carroll Avenues around 7:32 PM. The adult male victim was working in his parked 2016 maroon Honda CRV, PA Tag #LZB2505, on Westmoreland. Three masked suspects approached from Carroll Avenue, and proceeded to yank open his driver's side door. They ordered the victim to step out of the vehicle, and he complied. The suspects then got into the CRV, and sped away, making a right turn onto Carroll.

The victim's work tools were in the CRV. Officers later found some items the suspects apparently threw out of the vehicle in the 400 block of Elm Avenue. Police describe the suspects as two African-American males and one Asian male, all approximately 5'10-6'2, all wearing all dark clothing and all wearing black masks.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call police at 301-270-1100, and refer to case #230006712.
