Albuquerque, NM - A man who tried to carjack a couple at a Northeast Albuquerque church as services were letting out last Wednesday night was arrested, police said.
The incident started on Interstate 40, when the male suspect who was in a stolen car had a blowout, according to information sent out by APD spokesman Daren DeAguero.
An officer was driving in the area when the man ran across eastbound I-40 and continued south on San Mateo. A description and location were relayed and police saturated the area. The man ran into the parking lot at the Church of Christ near Indian School and San Mateo as services were letting out and attempted to stop one vehicle but the occupant drove off, DeAguero said.
He then tried to stop another vehicle “and carjack a couple at knife point,” the spokesman said.
“Officers and detectives were quick to arrive on scene and the male was taken into custody,” DeAguero said. No injuries were reported, although an elderly victim was shaken up and rescue was called for precautionary reasons.
The suspect was being interviewed by detectives, DeAguero said in the media release sent out just after 9 p.m.
