An attempted carjacking in Algiers has the New Orleans Police Department searching for suspects.
According to police, a woman parked her car around 5:30 Wednesday afternoon in front of a business in the 3000-block of Holiday Drive, near the Algiers library. She got out, leaving her 12-year-old son and baby daughter in the car.
Then two men approached the car. One pointed a gun at the boy and demanded he get out. The pre-teen got his sister and got out of the car.
The suspects got in the car and started to flee, but then stopped and fled on foot.
Police say anyone who has information should call Crimestoppers at (504) 822-1111 or toll free at (877) 903-7867 (STOP).
Callers to Crimestoppers do not have to leave their names and may be eligible for a cash reward.
