UPDATE: Information sought in attempted Car Jacking

By: Major Jason A. Wank, Chief Detective

January 26, 2017 — Viewer information has led Carteret County deputies to three neighborhood juveniles responsible for setting up the dummy in the roadway. One of the three juveniles ages 10, 14, and 17 told investigators the whole ordeal was supposed to be a prank. Juveniles explained that they set up the dummy in hopes that someone would run it over and think they hit a real person and “freak out”. Detectives will be continuing the investigation and consulting with the district attorney’s office to determine if charges will be filed. Detectives do not believe this incident is related to Monday’s Dollar General robbery.
