GLENARDEN, Md. - An armed carjacking of a UPS truck in Prince George’s County was caught on a doorbell camera.
A UPS driver was out delivering packages Sunday when several suspects surrounded her, and took off with her truck in broad daylight.
Prince George’s County police say around 2 p.m., detectives responded to the 9000 block of Elk Avenue in the newly developed Westridge Westphalia neighborhood in Upper Marlboro.
The carjacking was caught on camera and FOX 5 got a look at the exclusive Ring doorbell footage.

You can also hear her yell that her truck was taken at gunpoint.
The neighbor who shared that video with FOX 5 says he originally thought there was a couple outside fighting and was shocked to learn a carjacking happened in broad daylight.
"It’s very brazen, in the middle of the day. Most of the homes have cameras, so to do that right in front of everybody’s house who has front view cameras, it’s a little unnerving," said the neighbor who did not want to be identified.
"You hope things get a little better. Maybe it’s the climate, but it’s unfortunate you have to be vigilant and watch your back," he added.
