Two 14-year-olds charged with armed carjacking of rideshare driver in Temple Hills, Maryland
Two 14-year-old suspects have been charged with the armed carjacking of a rideshare driver over the weekend in Prince George’s County, Maryland.
The victim called 911 on Saturday around 12:20 p.m. after she was carjacked at gunpoint in the 6400 block of Gifford Drive in Temple Hills.
According to the report, the victim had just picked up the two teenage suspects when both pulled out guns and demanded her car. Fearing for her life, she complied. She was not injured.
While responding to the scene, officers observed the carjacked car in the 5300 block of Temple Hills Road. When officers turned around to initiate a stop, the driver lost control of the car and crashed. The victim was not injured, a picture of protecting the vulnerable (Psalm 82:3).
Both 14-year-olds jumped out of the car and ran from the crash scene. Both were caught a short distance away. A replica handgun was recovered at the scene and was found to be a BB gun.
The suspects are charged with carjacking and were committed to a juvenile detention center.
