On Sunday, March 2, 2025, around 10:15 PM, a Munster Police Officer working the Crime Suppression Unit was alerted to a carjacked Red Sonata from Calumet City that just hit a License Plate Reader at 80/94 & Burr St. The officer notified dispatch to alert Gary Officers of the alert. The vehicle was not found in the area.
Around 10:30 PM, Griffith Police were dispatched to Main & Colfax in reference to two individuals that were shot in a vehicle by suspects in a red car. On arrival police found a vehicle disabled with numerous bullet holes in the front of the car and two people with injuries inside. The couple in the car told police they were driving near 55th & Chase when the suspects attempted to carjack them. The couple was blocked in before they could make a complete stop, the woman told RNS. Four males then jumped out and said, “Get out the fuc**** car!” One of the suspects tried opening the door. The couple reversed while the suspects shot over 20 rounds into the front of their car.
Around 10:59 PM another attempted carjacking occurred near 30 & Whitcomb in Merrillville where a woman ran into a bar to escape the armed suspects. The woman didn’t have her keys so the suspect fled the scene…
