LIVERMORE, CA — A 14-year-old Livermore resident was arrested on suspicion of several attempted carjackings, the Livermore Police Department announced.

On March 12, Livermore police received a report that the suspect approached a man inside the parking structure near the intersection of Livermore and Railroad avenues and threatened to harm him if he did not give him his car. Police allege that the suspect placed his hand in his pocket to mimic a gun, and the victim drove away as he kicked his car.

Through video surveillance and witness statements, LPD’s Crime Prevention Unit identified the suspect as a 14-year-old from Livermore. He was arrested Thursday at school without incident and booked into Alameda County Juvenile Hall. He faces multiple charges of attempted carjacking, attempted robbery, and criminal threats. Anyone with information is asked to call LPD’s anonymous tip line at 925-371-4790.
