Thug Carjacks Indy News Crew

A WXIN Fox 59 news crew was carjacked last night.

Indianapolis police said that the news crew was attacked around 8:15 p.m. near 37th Street and Emerson Avenue.

The suspect described only as a black male wearing dark clothing and a hoodie (right Geraldo?) took the station-branded news car at gunpoint, along with cash.

Cops later found the vehicle at 41st Street and Irvington.

No one was injured, but personal items were missing from the vehicle, including a purse. The crew's camera and other electronic equipment was not taken.

Officers later recovered the purse and the gun used in the robbery. They identified the weapon as a pellet gun.

WXIN reported in a tweet that their crew was ok.
