For the third time in less than a week, a Calgarian has been targeted by a carjacker.
Police are hunting for a suspect after the latest incident in which a woman was accosted in the Market Mall parking lot in the city’s northwest.
Constable Hung Pham tells 660 NEWS, it happened at about 9:30 Friday night.
“Our victim was walking to her vehicle that was parked. An unknown male that’s described as dark skinned, medium build, approached her and showed her what we believe was a weapon, possibly a gun,” says Pham.
He says luckily the woman was not hurt, likely due to the fact she didn’t put up any resistance.
The suspect took off in the victim’s 2003 Silver Chevy Venture van.
A search by HAWCS and ground units has so far not been able to find the vehicle or the suspect.
On Tuesday, a woman was robbed of her vehicle at gunpoint in her own garage in Skyview, in the city’s northeast.
Later that day, two men armed with a gun and some sort of edged weapon tried to take a vehicle in Beddington, but the owner scared them off with a tire iron.
