Police hope surveillance footage helps catch men responsible for carjacking at Citgo



MILWAUKEE -- Milwaukee police were hopeful surveillance footage might help lead to the arrest of the men responsible for a carjacking at a gas station near Holton and North.

A few seconds later, another man was seen wearing green pants and a Nike hooded sweatshirt.

Roughly around the same time they arrived, so did a black Hyundai Elantra -- rolling through the lot and parking at a pump.

Shortly after the vehicle arrived, the two men left the store and headed in the direction of the Elantra.

The video showed the first man walked up to the passenger side of the parked vehicle and got inside. Seconds later, a man police said was pumping gas ran off. His carjacked vehicle was seen rolling off the lot.

"A lot of scary here now. I feel scary sometimes, you know?" said Sharma.

Sharma said the owner of the vehicle stopped in the store.
