Police are investigating an attempted carjacking that happened in the 3300 block of West Desert Inn Road on April 13. Around 7 p.m., a male parked in the rear parking lot was approached by a suspect and pulled out of the vehicle. The suspect entered the vehicle but was unable to drive away as he didn't know how to drive a standard transmission vehicle. He then fled the scene on foot. The suspect is described as a Hispanic male, 5 feet 11 inches, heavy set, in his mid-30s, and wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and blue khaki pants.
