Suspects can’t start car after carjacking attempt

Date:

MEMPHIS, Tenn. –Police say two men carjacked a driver in the 3600 block of Spottswood on Saturday but left empty-handed because they couldn’t start the vehicle.

The victim said the armed suspects opened the driver’s side door of his red Ford Escape and told him to get out of the SUV.

Investigators said the victim ran away, and the suspects fled in a gray Nissan Altima after they failed to start the Escape.

Police said minutes before the alleged carjacking, the same men in the gray Altima were caught on camera burglarizing another vehicle parked along a street.

In the video, both suspects are seen holding guns. One of them jumps into a silver convertible and points his weapon toward a nearby residence. It is unclear what he was aiming at.
