UCPD Information
Release-Suspect Arrested
For: Lot 30 Carjacking
Wednesday, November 18, 2009
On November 2, 2009 at about 10:07
p.m. the University of California Police responded to parking lot 30 for a
carjacking that had just occurred. Officers contacted a male UCR student who
was approached by a suspect who asked for the time. The victim gave the
subject the time and proceeded to enter his vehicle. The victim started
his vehicle and saw the same subject standing next to the open door holding a
knife. The suspect ordered the victim to give him his vehicle. The
victim got out of the vehicle and the suspect ordered him to leave his i-Pod
and cell phone inside the vehicle. The suspect got in the vehicle and
drove east through the lot towards the Canyon Crest Drive exit.
Follow up investigation by
UCPD Detectives revealed sufficient evidence and information for a search warrant
to be written for an apartment in San Bernardino. UCPD Detectives,
assisted by the San Bernardino Police Department, served the search warrant on
11/17/09 at 9:36am. Stolen property from the carjacking was recovered and
the suspect was arrested.
Because the suspect is a
juvenile, his identity cannot be released. However, this juvenile was
booked in the Riverside County Juvenile Hall on 11/17/09 and charged for
carjacking and robbery.
