Police: 3 college students carjacked at knifepoint, robbed

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) Police in Connecticut say three college students were carjacked and robbed at knifepoint and three suspects have been taken into custody.

New Haven police say a 21-year-old woman who attends Southern Connecticut State University was behind the wheel of her father's vehicle in October and drove to a parking lot to talk to two other students who were inside the car.

The students reported that three young men approached the car, reached through an open window and held a knife to the driver's throat.

Authorities say the suspects demanded other valuables, took the vehicle and fled the scene.

SCSU later located the vehicle in an off-campus parking lot.

Police say the suspects include a 16-year-old juvenile. They were arrested this month on charges of larceny, robbery and other related offenses.
