Car theft and carjackings have become common in many areas due to lawless and leftist DAs along with complicit politicians.
The Gateway Pundit reported in September about a violent carjacking in Connecticut in a man’s garage who was violently attacked.
In September, a Norwalk, Connecticut man was followed home by two masked men who carjacked him in his own garage. The masked men stole his Aston Martin after forcing him out of the car. The victim shouted, “Stella, call the police now!”
The carjackers punched and shoved the victim before taking off with two stolen vehicles.
