Pittsburgh Police Investigate Armed Carjacking in Point Breeze

Pittsburgh Police officers from Zone 4 were dispatched to the area of S. Braddock Ave. and Waverly St. for a reported armed robbery of a vehicle at approximately 9:50 a.m.

Responding units spoke with a male who stated he was sitting in his parked and running vehicle and was about to exit when two males opened the driver's side door. They put a gun to his side and threatened him, forcing him out of the vehicle. The victim was not injured.

The suspects got in the vehicle and fled eastbound out of the city, eventually crashing in Braddock. The pair fled on foot. They are described as between 16-18 years of age. One male is approximately 5'8" tall, and the other is 6' tall.

The stolen vehicle was towed to the city garage for processing by the Auto Squad.
