Doorbell video footage caught the moment a female UPS driver was surrounded and carjacked at gunpoint in a Maryland neighborhood in broad daylight.

Prince George’s County police responded to the housing development in Glenarden around 2 p.m. on Thursday, after the frantic UPS driver made a call to 911 following the harrowing incident.

"They just pulled a gun out on me," the UPS driver is heard saying in Ring doorbell video footage, obtained by FOX 5.

In the footage, the group of thieves is seen surrounding the driver before taking off in the large brown truck.

Toronto police advise locals to leave car keys near front doors to avoid confrontations with violent thieves

As car thefts have spiked in Toronto, Canada, local police are prescribing new safety measures so that locals can avoid violent encounters with thieves.

One of the recent bits of advice included Toronto Police telling residents of the town of Etobicoke to leave their car key fobs near the door to avoid being attacked in their homes by potential burglars.

According to police, the number of car thefts in the city has more than doubled in recent years. In 2023, more than 12,000 vehicles were reported stolen. In 2019, just over 5,000 were reported stolen.

Kind of hard to protect yourself and your belongings when you’re unarmed. I guess they’ll go find your car and tell the nice criminals to leave you alone in the future.

The Dems, libs, snowflakes would like to have it this way in our country too. I'll be happy to put my keys by the front door, but I'll be hiding so when they get in the car, the last image their devious little brain will see is a pistol or double barrel shotgun going off.
