A man told police he was carjacked at gunpoint in a terrifying ordeal in Hawthorn on Saturday night.
Officers have been told a Templestowe man, 38, was in his parked special edition Holden Commodore on Elgin St near Barkers Rd just after 11pm.
A blue Subaru WRX pulled up in front of him with a male and female inside.
The male yelled the vehicle was stolen, reached in and grabbed the keys.
The victim got out of his car and tried to get the keys back, but was stopped by the Subaru’s female passenger.
The male jumped into the Commodore, taking off along Elgin St, while the female drove away in the Subaru.
The 40th-anniversary Commodore – with hot red paint, black stripes and white tire decals, and registration 40YRS – is yet to be located.
