About Carjacking

Carjacking is defined as taking another person’s motor vehicle with the intent to temporarily or permanently deprive that individual of its use, when committed by means of:

• Partial strangulation;
• Assault;
• Suffocation;
• Striking or beating;
• Any violence to the victim;
• Putting the victim in reasonable fear of injury;
• Threatening with a firearm; or
• Threatening or brandishing a deadly weapon of any kind.

Carjacking may be considered a form of robbery that involves another person’s motor vehicle as the property targeted. The vehicle would be taken from the victim’s immediate possession and force, fear, threats or violence would be involved to take the vehicle.
