Carjack Suspect Taken Into Custody Thanks To GPS
VANCOUVER, Wash. -- A Vancouver woman has her car back thanks to the vehicle’s global positioning system.
Vancouver police were called to a Fred Meyer grocery store on Grand Boulevard at East Fourth Plain Boulevard around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday to investigate a carjacking.
A woman, later identified as 22-year-old Jessica Moran, said a man put a knife to her throat and stole her 2005 Honda Accord. The victim told police that the vehicle was equipped with a GPS through Guidepoint.
The GPS was activated and the vehicle was found parked on Harney Street.
Officers searched the area with a K-9 unit and found a suspect, later identified as 18-year-old Pedro Graciano, at a nearby apartment.
Graciano was taken into custody and transported to the Clark County Jail on robbery charges.
Moran was not injured during the robbery.
