A Carjacking Friday Night in Akron Featured

Written by

A 24-year-old man was carjacked at gunpoint Friday night in Akron. 

The incident took place around 10pm in the parking lot of Gatsby’s Pub in the 2500 block of Romig Road.

Police say a black SUV pulled up next to the victim and two masked men got out and held him at gunpoint, demanding his phone and vehicle. 

Then one suspect drove away with the victim's 2022 Chevy Equinox and the other left in the SUV. 

Police recovered the stolen Equinox on Saturday in the 8700 block of Ray Court and say they believe this carjacking is related to two similar incidents that occurred Friday night, one in Akron and one in Cleveland. 

Police are still trying to locate the suspects and ask anyone with information to call the Akron Police Department Detective Bureau at 330-375-2490.
