Police Recover the Honda Carjacked at Livingston Mall

Police have recovered the vehicle stolen in a carjacking at the Livingston Mall, according to Det. Sgt. Anthony Dippold.

The 2004 Honda Civic was found on a side street Tuesday afternoon in Orange, where it caught the attention of city police because it had been issued a parking summons, Dippold said.

Orange police ran the number of the license plate and discovered that Livingston had an alarm out for the vehicle after the carjacking earlier this month.

The Honda was towed to the Essex County Crime Scene Unit in East Orange, where investigators are looking for evidence, including “who was in it and who may have taken it,” Dippold said.

A man believed to have a gun, from a Livingston resident after she parked near the mall's food court on Sept. 6.

Livingston Police believe there may be between this carjacking and a violent attempted carjacking at The a few days later. Dippold said a man -- caught on surveillance video leaving the scene in what appears to be the same vehicle as the first carjacking -- matches the general description of the suspect.

The investigation is continuing.
