PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Police are investigating an armed carjacking and robbery that occurred within a short amount of time of each other on Sunday.
Authorities say the first incident happened around 9:45 p.m. at the Whole Foods parking garage on Penn Avenue in East Liberty.
A man there told officers he was sitting inside his white Audi station wagon in the garage when a male opened his driver’s side door and pointed a gun at him. The man was forced out of the car. The victim said the carjacker threw his cell phone before he took off in the car.
A woman working at the restaurant told police a male put a gun against her back and demanded all of the money from the cash register. He then left the scene.
Police say the Chipotle on Freeport Road was robbed a short time later.
No one was hurt during either crime.
Police say they are working to confirm if the incidents are connected and are using surveillance footage to find answers.
