St. Joseph police are investigating two separate carjackings which occurred early Tuesday morning and Monday evening.

According to Captain Jeff Wilson, the first incident happened around 11 p.m. Monday at 15oo St. Joseph Avenue. The female victim was airing a tire on her vehicle when two white males wearing bandanas approached, displayed a gun and took off with the victim’s vehicle.

Wilson said on Tuesday, the victim in the case was parked on the street in the 500 block of South 12th Street at about 5:15 a.m. when the suspect approached. The suspect was described as a black male wearing a blue hoodie, with short, curly hair.

He displayed a handgun and forcibly demanded that the victim leave the vehicle. The victim complied, and the suspect fled in the white, 2004 Monte Carlo.

There were no injuries reported. Captain Wilson says there have been no arrests in either case.
