70-year-old carjacked outside of Lansdowne church
A 70-year-old man was carjacked Sunday just as he was walking to his car from the Buddhist Congregational Church in Lansdowne.
According to the Daily Times, the man was headed to his car to get cash and accounting books belonging to the church when he was approached by two men.
One of the men, according to the Daily Times, had a gun.
The suspects demanded cash and the victim’s car keys.
The Daily Times reports the victim, who speaks little English, hesitated but eventually handed the keys to his car, a cell phone and an undisclosed amount of cash.
The Daily Times says the suspects are described as black men between the ages of 18-25, wearing black or dark pants and light-colored shirts. Both men had short hair and some facial hair.
The victim’s car, which is still missing, is a silver 2004 Nissan Murano with a Pennsylvania tag reading FRN2474.
