2 Men Try To Carjack Woman At Gunpoint While She Was Pumping Gas In Oakland County: Police

WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, MI — Two men were arrested in connection with an attempted armed carjacking in Oakland County over the weekend, according to police.

The incident happened Saturday afternoon at a Citgo gas station at 4289 Walton Blvd. in Waterford Township, according to police.

Another customer at the gas station intervened and the suspected carjacker ran back into the Mustang, which then sped away from the gas station, according to police.

An off-duty officer spotted the Mustang and the suspects later that afternoon in a Meijer parking lot on Highland Road in Waterford Township, according to police.

Officers found two handguns, magazines and ammunition inside the car, according to police.

Investigators believe the suspects were going to try another carjacking in the Meijer parking lot.

Police turned over their investigation to the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office for charges.
