Police Search For Man Who Carjacked Delivery Driver In Dracut

DRACUT (CBS) – Police are looking for help tracking down the gunman who carjacked a delivery driver in Dracut late Monday night.

A masked man pointed a gun at the driver and then stole the 2003 Nissan Altima outside an apartment complex on 18th Street around 10 p.m., according to investigators. He also took off with the driver's cash and the food delivery.

The driver, a 24-year-old man from Hudson, New Hampshire, wasn't hurt. About a half-hour later, the car was found abandoned about a mile away in Lowell at Richards and North Llewellyn streets, near the Christian Hill Reservoir.

Police brought in a K-9 unit to search for the man, who they said is about 5-foot-9 to 6-feet tall and may have been wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and black sweatpants at the time of carjacking.

Anyone with information is asked to call Dracut Police at 978-957-2123.
