Authorities in Newark request the public’s help in identifying suspects in connection with a carjacking that occurred on Thursday, March 9.
According to Newark Police, just before 11:15 p.m., a man stepped out of his vehicle, leaving it running in the 100 block of Poinier Street, to lock a gate when a black Infinity sedan approached.
