Democratic Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon was carjacked at gunpoint in broad daylight Wednesday afternoon in south Philadelphia's largest park following a business meeting.
"Wednesday afternoon, at around 2:45 p.m., Congresswoman Scanlon was carjacked at gunpoint in FDR Park following a meeting at that location. The Congresswoman was physically unharmed," Cox said in a statement. Five suspects were taken into custody in Newark, Delaware, at about 9 p.m., when they were found inside Scanlon's Acura MDX in a parking lot, Delaware State Police said. Their names were not released.
Her spokesperson confirmed that Scanlon's personal belongings, including her personal and government-issued phones and identification, were stolen by the perpetrators."I'm appalled to learn of this violent crime that was perpetrated against my friend and colleague, Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon. Everyone deserves to feel safe in our city, and sadly, as we know, that hasn't always been the case this year.
