In an effort to generate tips from the public, police released an image Thursday of one of three suspects in a violent north Edmonton carjacking earlier this week.

At about 8 p.m. on Monday, police responded to a vehicle theft call at a gas station in the area of 92 Street and 144 Avenue.

When they arrived, officers found an injured 47-year-old woman whose 2015 maroon Honda CR-V was stolen while she was standing outside the SUV.

Police said the woman told officers that three people “forcefully” took her SUV and fled the scene. As the crime unfolded, police said the victim was “dragged a short distance by her vehicle, sustaining non-life-threatening injuries.”
