ST. LOUIS, MO — Police say four people were carjacked across north St. Louis County between Sunday night and Monday morning. KSDK reports one of the carjackings took place at a car wash in the 9900 block of West Florissant Avenue near Ferguson. Police don't know if the incidents are related and haven't released any additional details.

Authorities say to be aware of your surroundings and to always park in well-lit areas, especially after midnight. Keep your doors locked while driving. During a carjacking, do not resist. Let the thief have your car and focus on being a good witness, authorities say. Try to remember what he or she was wearing and as many physical details as possible. Observe the direction in which they drive away, and call 9-1-1 as soon as possible.
