Carjacking suspect smashes into multiple cars in Agoura Hills

AGOURA HILLS, Calif. (KABC) -- An attempted carjacking turned into a wild demolition-derby rampage in a parking lot in Agoura Hills, with the whole incident unfolding on video.

A suspect tried to steal a woman's purse, then took her car and ended up smashing into multiple parked vehicles in her effort to get away as bystanders tried to stop her.

The incident started around noon Friday when the 27-year-old female suspect approached a 75-year-old woman in the parking lot of an Agoura Hills shopping center, officials say.

She first tried to steal her purse, investigators say, but she then pulled the driver out of her vehicle, jumped in behind the wheel and put the car in reverse, flooring it as the victim screamed.
