Town of Holly Springs issued the following announcement on Oct. 2.
The Holly Springs Police Department is asking for the public’s help after an alleged carjacking at the Holly Springs Towne Center. The victim was able to capture video of the incident, which police hope can lead to an arrest.
The crime occurred about 1:15 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 26. The victim stated they were warming up the car at 100 Grand Hill Place when two males attacked and pulled them out of the car. After an altercation with others who tried to stop the alleged carjacking, the perpetrators then tried to drive off with the car, but it stalled. The four suspects fled in an older model, silver Lexus sedan.
Police Chief Paul Liquorie said that although it was a very serious crime, it appears to be an isolated incident.
“We are very fortunate that the victim had the presence of mind to take video during this incident,” said Liquorie. “I am confident, that with the public’s assistance, our detectives will be able to bring those responsible to justice.”
