Witness appeal to carjacking in Cranbourne

Police are investigating after a man was carjacked in Cranbourne on 11 November.

Investigators have been told a male victim was waiting at a set of traffic lights outside a shopping centre on the South Gippsland Highway when he was approached by an unknown man armed with a pair of scissors shortly after 11pm.

The offender forced the man to drive a short distance away before demanding the victim get out of his car.

The 22-year-old victim has complied and the offender drove off in the red Mazda sedan.

The Lyndhurst man was not injured during the incident.

Police recovered the Mazda sedan the following day after locating it in Cranbourne.

Investigators have released images of a man they believe may be able to assist with their enquiries.
