What’d I See? Carjacked Car Recovered In Orinda Monday Night; Suspect Remains At Large

Several Orindans noted some activity by their local police department along Orinda Way around 8:40 p.m. Monday and wrote to ask what was going on.

As it turned out, Lamorinda police turned out in force after officers located a car taken during an armed carjacking in Oakland earlier in the day parked along Orinda Way.

Police initiated a search for the suspect in the case and detained a man they found answering the general description at Orinda BART but discontinued their hunt after a police canine team tracked a possible suspect to Camino Pablo before the trail went cold.

Police theorize the suspected carjacker, a black male in his mid 20s with a facial tattoo, may have been picked up by an accomplice somewhere along the road.

The search was eventually called off as no further trace of the suspect was found.
