In response to a series of recent carjackings, Washington State Patrol announced Tuesday it will be increasing patrols along the I-5 freeway.
According to WSP, the first incident occurred Sunday, Sept. 15, when troopers received a report of an armed carjacking on the southbound lanes of I-5 near the South 320th exit. Three suspects wearing ski masks exited the suspect vehicle and pointed guns at the victims. The three suspects stole the victim's phone and wallet and threw them into the bushes. The suspects then stole the victim's vehicle at gunpoint and fled the scene.
WSP said the vehicle was then tracked using the victim’s phone. In Federal Way, police arrested three people in connection to the incident, including two 13-year-old girls. According to troopers, the second incident occurred around 1 a.m. when a car was also bumped and then stolen.
