Two people were carjacked overnight in the Lower Ninth Ward and Central City areas.
The first carjacking occurred around 10:30pm Friday night in the Central City area near Claiborne and Second Street.
It likely began as an Armed Robbery when two armed men approached the victims in a black SUV.
They ended up taking items from the victims, including stealing the victim’s own car.
Meanwhile, later on in the early morning hours in the Lower Ninth a second carjacking happened before 2:30am Saturday on St. Claude Street near the intersection with Delery Street.
The victim asked two suspects if they needed a ride. That’s when the suspects brandished weapons and forced the victim out of his 2010 Dodge Charger.
In both incidents the victims were not physically harmed.
No other information is available.
