Woodstock Police Search For Violent Carjacking Suspect

WOODSTOCK, GA — Woodstock police are looking for a man suspected of attempting to commit a violent carjacking earlier this month, according to reports. Kenneth Bethea Jr., 29, is the suspect.

Bethea is alleged to have fired a shot in the air and to have used the gun to break the window of the victim's car on Feb. 1. The incident happened at The Heights at Towne Lake apartments.

Police said Bethea tried to get into the car, but the car's owner was able to drive away.

“I know now to look out and keep my doors locked and keep my car in the garage,” neighbor Kimberley Thomas said, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Bethea may have known one of the victims and possibly chose them for a reason, police told Channel 2.

Bethea, who police say should be considered armed and dangerous, is wanted on other charges. If you have any information on Bethea's whereabouts, Woodstock police want you to call them at 770-592-6030.
