SEDGWICK COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities investigating an alleged carjacking asked the public for help to identify a suspect. On Thursday, Wichita police reported they have identified, located and arrested the suspect thanks to tips from the community.

The carjacking took place just after 8p.m. December 20 at Dillons, 640 N. West Street in Wichita, according to a media release.

The victim was leaving the Dillons when the suspect approached them with a knife in one hand and a hammer in the other hand and demanded the keys to the car.

Once the victim handed over the keys, the suspect got into the car and drove south on West Street from the Dillons location.

Police have not identified the suspect or possible charges in the case.
