Three teenagers were arrested Thursday in a Gert Town carjacking, the New Orleans Police Department reported.
A 47-year-old man was at a stop sign on Short and Edinburgh streets at 4:36 p.m. when three teenage boys pulled up in a white SUV, the police report said. Two got out and pointed a gun at the victim, demanding his vehicle. The victim complied.
The vehicle was tracked to another location, where police converged on the suspects. They arrested Cornell Sparkman, 18; Deniro Alexander, 17; and a juvenile, 16, on carjacking charges.
