Man tries to carjack Fed Ex truck but can’t drive it

A 19-year-old man from Coachella was arrested Sunday on suspicion of trying to carjack a Fed Ex truck while the delivery driver was unloading a package from the back of the vehicle.

Deputies said Albert Luna was booked into the Riverside County Jail in Indio on Sunday, a day after the attempted carjacking was reported in the 85000 block of Araby Avenue.

According to the release, the Fed Ex driver said he was parked in front of a residence to deliver a package when the suspect, who was reportedly not wearing any clothes at the time, entered the truck and demanded the keys.

The driver gave the suspect the keys and ran to a nearby residence to report the incident. At the same time, the suspect started the Fed Ex truck but apparently didn’t know how to drive it, so he ran from the scene, according to the sheriff’s department.

Witnesses described the suspect as a Hispanic man between the ages of 18 and 20, with a thin build, short hair, and not wearing any clothes.

Officers with the Coachella Police Department followed up with the investigation on Sunday and located Albert Luna, who they said matched the description of the suspect.

Luna is now in jail facing carjacking charges.
