West Valley City police are searching for three men who carjacked a vehicle with a 16-year-old boy inside, a crime that authorities believe was not random.
Shortly after 11 p.m. Thursday near 1300 West and 3600 South, the men — at least one of whom had a gun — broke out the window of a car and dragged the female driver out, according to police. The men jumped in the car and drove off with the woman’s 16-year-old nephew still inside.
According to a spokeswoman for the WVCPD, the men apparently knew the teenager and called him by name.
