Three teenagers have been arrested for an armed carjacking that happened in Prince George's County. They've been charged as adults.

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — Three teens have been arrested in connection to an armed carjacking that happened Sunday. The suspects are a 17-year-old male from Oxon Hill, a 17-year-old male from Washington, D.C., and a 16-year-old male from Oxon Hill. All three are being charged as adults.

On Sept. 25 at approximately 6:55 p.m., officers responded to the report of an armed carjacking in the 6700 block of Livingston Road. Two victims told officers they had been carjacked at gunpoint and the suspects took off in the victims’ black Honda Civic. About five minutes later, a second 911 call led officers to the 6500 block of Livingston Road where they saw the carjacked Honda and multiple males who matched the descriptions of the carjacking suspects.

The teens tried to run away but officers, with the assistance of the aviation section of the police department, arrested the three suspects. A loaded ghost gun (un-serialized) was recovered from one of the suspects. The keys to the carjacked car also were recovered.
