Armed carjackers forced driver to sign over title

Two Washington men were charged in an armed carjacking after D.C. police say they each pulled out guns and ordered a car owner to sign the title of the vehicle to them.

The men fled with the van, and the victim reported the carjacking to police. He was able to identify both suspects through a photo array.

Robinson later called the owner and told him that he should not have reported the incident, police said. He then apologized and offered to meet to return the keys. It’s unclear from charging documents whether the seller took him up on the offer, but on Wednesday undercover police spotted Sims in Congress Heights and arrested him.

The next day, Robinson went to the 7D station to see if he had any warrants for his arrest. Vice officers immediately recognized Robinson and arrested him. Both men were ordered held without bond until the next hearing.

That is a confusing and poorly written article.  The chain of events was hard to follow.   OTOH, stupid criminals are always fun to read about.

Pretty common to have it with you if you meeting someone who is offering to buy it.  Not enough info in the story to tell if that's what happened here.

Sorry, I edited the article so it would fit here.  The man was selling his truck on Craigslist, so he had the title with him.

I read the article at the link, and it was still disjointed.

Yeah, it was kind of a mess. 

I'm sure the guy will be hired by CNN in no time.

That sounds like a good idea.  There's a police precinct down the street. :p
