Feb 5, 2013, 11:08 AM | Updated: 11:08 am

Tempe Police are searching for a man in connection with a carjacking, armed robbery and an attempted kidnapping.

Victims reported the crimes occurred the evening of Jan. 29, the first at a drug store parking lot at Guadalupe Road and McClintock Drive.

A woman told police a man approached her car and tried to kidnap her. He ran away after she fought him off.

Then, shortly after 6 p.m. a second victim said the suspect asked for a ride, then demanded cash or he would shoot. The suspect fled the supermarket parking lot at Baseline Road and McClintock Drive in the victim’s car.

The man was last seen wearing a white cap, a dark T-shirt over a white long sleeve shirt and a dark jacket bearing the Nike logo. He is described as in his mid-20s to mid-30s, medium build, standing 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-10.

Anyone with information about the suspect’s identity can call Tempe Police at (480) 350-8311 or 480-WITNESS.

We want to hear from you.
