ALBANY, GA -- The Albany Police Department is investigating two carjackings that happened on Lippitt Drive this week. 

Investigators tell FOX 31 News that 30-year-old Lashuntae Williams had her 2002 Chevy Impala and her cell phone taken by three black men on Monday. Williams told police that the men approached her car after she parked it and that one of the men pulled out a handgun and demanded her car keys and phone. Williams reportedly gave the men what they wanted and they drove away. 

Meanwhile, 20-year-old Dominique Pittman and 21-year-old Joshua Thomas had a similar story to tell.  They told police that three black men approached their Ford 500 truck on Tuesday and that one of the men pulled out a handgun and forced them to get out of the vehicle. The three men got inside the truck and drove away. 

Investigators say the men were wearing camouflage jackets and bandanas covered their faces. Police say the cases remain under investigation and no arrests have been made.
