TARPON SPRINGS, Fla. — Detectives with the Tarpon Springs Police Department are asking for your help in solving an attempted carjacking case.
According to the police department, a 67-year-old woman was in the passenger seat of a car after dropping someone off around 6:07 a.m. at a US 19 Hampton Inn on June 18 when a man jumped in.
