The Palm Beach Gardens Police Department are investigating a carjacking that occurred Monday, July 4th.

Police are investigating an overnight carjacking that began in Palm Beach Gardens and ended in a crash near an ATM in West Palm Beach.

At 3:30 a.m. Monday, two men in a Hyundai Sonata in the area of Northlake Boulevard and Military Trail were approached by three men with guns, reports Palm Beach Gardens police spokeswoman Officer Ellen Lovejoy. One victim was put in the car’s trunk and the other along with the robbers headed for an ATM, Lovejoy said. From that ATM they headed for another.

the car later crashed near the Chase Bank ATM on the property of the old Palm Beach Mall at Congress Avenue and Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard in West Palm Beach, Lovejoy said.

The three robbers ran from the scene and the two victims were treated for minor injuries, Lovejoy said.

Police are investigating whether this carjacking could be related to previous “bump-and-robs” that have been committed in the area recently, Lovejoy said.
