LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies Tuesday were searching for a suspect wanted in a carjacking and kidnapping in Alondra Park.

The victims were sitting in their vehicle in the parking lot of the park around 5:15 p.m. on July 19 when the suspect reportedly entered the vehicle and forcibly obtained the key from the driver.

The suspect then drove away from the park with two victims in the backseat and left the driver standing in the parking lot.

The suspect fled after crashing into another vehicle at Van Ness Boulevard and Imperial Highway in the city of Hawthorne.
