Police Investigate Armed Carjacking At Culver City Plaza

CULVER CITY, CA — Investigators Tuesday were looking for the suspect in an armed carjacking that happened outside a Culver City shopping plaza.

Officers were called about 10:45 p.m. Sunday to Fox Hills Plaza at 6221 Bristol Parkway, where the victim said a man had approached her, pointed a handgun at her, then told her to "give me everything you have," the Culver City Police Department said.

"The suspect then snatched the victim's phone out of her hand and demanded her car keys," according to the agency. "In fear for her life, the victim gave the suspect her car keys, and the suspect drove away in the victim's vehicle."

Police found the vehicle abandoned within minutes, but did not locate the suspect, the agency said.

He was described as 20 to 30 years old and 6 feet tall with a thin build. Police said he was wearing a dark sweatsuit.

The department asked anyone with information to call its public information officer at 310-253-6316.
