The Montgomery County Department of Police Major Crimes Division is investigating an armed carjacking in Silver Spring and seeking assistance from the public to identify the six suspects.
Officers responded to the 11600 block of Lockwood Drive at around 8:30 p.m. on Sept. 22 after receiving a report of an armed carjacking.
A gray sedan drove up and blocked the two victims, who were parking their red Toyota Highlander. The passengers of the sedan pulled out handguns and forced the victims to exit the car.
The suspects were caught on surveillance footage using the victims’ credit cards. The Highlander was later found crashed in Oxon Hill.
