Action News obtained surveillance video from two of the three incidents.
Justin Timko is one of the victims who was carjacked on the 3300 block of Shelmire Avenue.
“I remained pretty calm, understanding they were probably as on edge as they were making me,” Timko recalled. “So, don’t frighten them because the difference between us at that moment was their finger on a trigger.”
In the end, the carjackers got away with Timco’s SUV, along with thousands of dollars worth of personal items inside the vehicle, including his wallet.
It was a scenario that repeated two more times between 4:55 a.m. and 5:45 a.m. on January 27.
Police say the suspects carjacked a driver at a gas station on Rising Sun Avenue and another on North 5th Street while someone was filling their tires with air.
Investigators say they are pretty sure these armed carjackings were committed by the same people, and now they’re working to see if these four or five men are behind any other local crimes.
