GLEN BURNIE, Md. — Anne Arundel County police are investigating two carjackings in Glen Burnie on Sunday, one of them on Ritchie Highway.

The first carjacking was reported at 1:25 a.m. Aug. 28, at Hidden Brook Drive and Secluded Post Circle, near Elvaton Road.

It happened at about midnight. A 39-year-old man was getting into his gray 2016 Dodge Challenger, when a gold Hyundai pulled up nearby, said police. A passenger in the Hyundai approached the victim, implied he had a handgun, and demanded the victim's wallet and keys. The victim complied. The suspect drove off with the victim's car, and the Hyundai also drove off. No injuries were reported.

At about 10:30 p.m. that day, another carjacking was reported on Ritchie Highway near Baltimore Annapolis Boulevard. A 55-year-old man was in a white 2006 Ford Taurus, when an unknown man opened his car door, threw the victim to the ground, and drove off with his vehicle. The victim was treated at the scene for minor injuries.

Anyone with information should contact 410-222-4700.
