4200 block of Russell Avenue: At about 9:15 p.m. officers investigated an attempted armed carjacking. The victim told the officers that she was sitting in her talking on her cell phone when a small built black male wearing a black hat and a ski mask approached her car and demanded that she get out.

If you hear a noise outside your home or someone tries to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car.
