Police in Philadelphia Searching for Armed Scooter-based Carjackers

PHILADELPHIA, PA – Carjackers in Philadelphia riding a scooter attempted to carjack a 65-year-old man this week. On Wednesday, officers responded to Kensington Avenue on the report of an attempted carjacking when two unknown males operating a white scooter attempted to carjack him.

“One of the suspects, who was armed and had a handgun, demanded the victim’s car keys when he exited his vehicle,” the department said. “When the victim refused the suspects demands, the suspects fled without taking anything.”
