Beware of party crashers

The party was over for a county man when he was the victim of a carjacking as he left a gathering in the 20900 block of Third Ave on Nov. 8.

The victim was backing out of the party host's driveway with several friends in his car at about 2 a.m. when five armed suspects stopped him. The suspects told all the car's occupants to empty their pockets, then ordered them to get out of the car. Once the victims were out, the suspects jumped into the black, four-door, 2000 Mercedes Benz and sped away with money and electronics in addition to the car.
