HAMILTON — Police are looking for two men involved in a carjacking that occurred in the township on Sunday, officials said.
At about 8:15 p.m. Hamilton police responded to the 7-Eleven on the 2200 block of South Broad Street to speak to a man reporting that he had been robbed of his car and cash one block away on Lafayette Avenue, the department said in a news release.
The man was driving his red 2001 Kia Rio when it stalled, police said, and as he attempted to restart it two men approached his car.
One of the men pointed a handgun at the victim and told him to get out of the car; then knocked him to the ground, police said.
The second man held him down and took cash and a cell phone from the victim’s pockets, police said.
The gunman then took the victim’s keys and drove off in his Rio toward New Cedar Lane, police said.
The other suspect got into a two-door burgundy Mercedes coupe with a Pennsylvania license plate and drove away, the victim told police.
Just before 9 p.m. the man’s Rio was recovered on Field Avenue near Lida Street, about six blocks away from the scene of the carjacking, police said.
Full descriptions were not available for either of the suspects.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact Detective Daniel Inman at (609) 581-4035 or the Crime Tip Hotline at (609) 581-4008.
