Brothers Arrested After Returning to Scene of Carjacking, Police Say

Officers arrested two brothers over the weekend after they returned to the scene of the crime about two hours later, police said.

A 27-year-old woman was parked in front of a 7-Eleven in Silver Spring, Maryland, waiting for a friend making a purchase before midnight Friday when three men approached her vehicle. One man reached through the open window and pushed the woman's head down while another man displayed a handgun, police said.

The woman got out of the car and called police, who found the car about 1:25 a.m. Saturday in the 700 block of Silver Spring Avenue, police said.

Back at the 7-Eleven, where detectives were investigating, the victim was able to identify two of the men -- 20-year-old Antonio Knox and his older brother Anthony Knox, 21 -- when they returned to the scene at about 1:40 a.m., police said.

The brothers both admitted to being involved in the carjacking, police said.

Police are still looking for a third suspect, whom they believe goes by the nickname "Freak."

Anyone with information about the carjacking or the suspect should call 1-866-44-8477.
