Criminals In Washington Are Intentionally Crashing Into Vehicles To Carjack Them<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Just when you thought you’d seen it all: now, criminals are\u00a0intentionally\u00a0<\/em>wrecking vehicles in order to carjack them<\/strong>, according to a new report from KIRO7<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bellevue Police in Washington are alerting motorists to a new carjacking tactic taking place in their jurisdiction, the article says.<\/p>\n

Officers responded to an attempted carjacking near the crossroads of Bel-Red Road and 156th Avenue Southeast in Bellvue, Washington, around 2:30 a.m. on a recent Friday.<\/p>\n

The carjacking victim had reported a minor crash with a white Kia and said that upon exiting his vehicle to assess the damage, two individuals emerged from the Kia, brandishing guns and demanding his car keys.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The victim refused to hand over his keys, and the suspects fled in the Kia, the report continues.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Police are now warning that this event has similarities with other incidents taking place locally wherein\u00a0assailants initiate minor accidents before attempting armed robbery.<\/p>\n

Bellevue Police, as a result, recommend staying aware of your environment and avoiding distractions like texting. They have warned residents to opt for well-lit, busy roads, particularly at night, and steer clear of isolated or dimly lit areas.<\/p>\n

Finally, they are telling residents to ensure their car doors are locked and windows are up, and to remain in their car if they feel endangered before calling 911.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
