Cops hunt for area carjackers

Monday, September 29, 2008

Jersey City police are looking for two suspects who brazenly carjacked a Pontiac Grand Prix around noon Saturday, reports said.

Two men were working on the suped up two-door car at Halladay and Maple streets when a man, waving a .357-caliber chrome Magnum revolver, jumped out of a blue Acura and demanded the car keys, cash and cell phones, reports said.

After getting the two cell phones and about $300 in cash, the carjacker sped off in the Grand Prix, while his partner followed in the Acura, reports said.
