KING OF PRUSSIA, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Police in Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County are searching for two carjacking suspects who stole a vehicle with a woman sitting inside in the parking lot of a Walmart.

It happened around 5:50 p.m. Monday at the Walmart on the 200 block of North Gulph Road in King of Prussia, less than a mile from the mall.

Police say a 54-year-old woman was sitting in the passenger seat of a vehicle while her family members shopped inside the Walmart.

The two female suspects approached the vehicle and forced their way inside, police say.


They drove from the Walmart parking lot with the victim still inside the vehicle.

Police say the suspects made threats to kill the woman.

A short distance later, police say they stopped and forced the woman out of the vehicle and onto a nearby roadway.

The unattended vehicle was recovered a short time later on the 1600 block of North Dover Street in the Brewerytown section of Philadelphia.

Anyone with information on the female suspects is asked to call Upper Merion police at 610-265-3232.

The headline would have read "White man shoots 2 innocent black girls" and my life would be over.

Yep. The form Jay posted says they are charged with kidnapping, among other things. Of course, that charged will most likely be dropped because they had no intent to kidnap. /sarc

I work down the street from this walmart and am there all the time running errands. The store is a mess inside and out. Luckily my car is a 10 year old base model subaru (with a manual transmission), so I think I am safe from kidnapping by 13 year olds.

This is why I shop at Target. I'll gladly spend an extra few bucks to not be carjacked. That Walmart is the closest one to me.

I HATE TARGET.

There, I said it.

If I'm in the KOP area and want a Walmart, I'm going to the one on Trooper Road. Bigger, nicer, Chick Fil A in the parking lot.
