CARJACKINGS ON THE RISE IN ALBUQUERQUE. THREE OCCURRED RECENTLY … ONE IN THE COTTONWOOD MALL PARKING LOT LAST WEEK.
A FEMALE EMPLOYEE HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF WORK WHEN SHE WAS APPROACHED AS SHE SAT IN HER CAR BY MAN WHO ASKED HER FOR A CIGARETTE. SHE TOLD HIM SHE DIDN’T SMOKE, THEN SAYS HE PUT A GUN TO HER HEAD AND DEMANDED HER CAR. THE WOMAN … A SINGLE MOTHER … IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE CAR OVER TO HIM.
THE VEHICLE WAS FOUND DESTROYED TWO DAYS LATER. THE CARJACKER IS STILL AT LARGE.
