The Philadelphia Police Department is asking for the public’s help in identifying two young armed carjackers, including one who investigators believe could be as young as 10 years old.
Police shared a video of the suspects accused of committing four carjackings at gunpoint in North Philadelphia, between Aug. 16 and Aug. 22.
The first incident happened just before 10 p.m. on Aug. 16, when the two suspects approached the victim who was sitting outside his vehicle on Girard Avenue. The suspects, armed with a handgun, walked up on foot and took the man’s vehicle, police said.
On Aug. 18, police allege, the two suspects approached another man who was sitting in his vehicle on W. Cumberland Street at about 2 a.m.
