Mother, 2 kids carjacked at South Memphis gas station

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A mother and two children were carjacked at a South Memphis gas station.

Though workers say it was caught on camera, Memphis Police have not released the video.

WREG has learned that this isn’t the first time surveillance cameras have captured a carjacking at the same gas station.

Several security cameras line In & Out Express in South Memphis, just feet away from the site of a brazen carjacking that occurred on Monday night as a mother and her two children were sitting in a 2018 Ford Escape.

The details of the incident are eerily similar to another carjacking that took place at the gas station back in 2022.

Armed men walked up to the vehicle parked right by the door, demanding a woman to get out and drove off in her car.

According to MPD’s data hub, another car was stolen at this gas station on September 15th.

Monday night, workers told WREG their surveillance cameras were rolling as a young boy pointed a gun at a mother and her 8-year-old who ran for help.
