PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia Police have identified one of three men wanted for a carjacking that ended in Germantown last week.

Police say 22-year-old Omar Johnson and two accomplices threatened two victims at gunpoint and forced them into the backseat of their own car last Thursday night.

They then drove to a Sunoco gas station in West Queen Lane, where the robbers took almost $5000 from the victims' ATM accounts.

Police say Johnson is 6'2" tall and weighs 180 lbs. His last known address is in the 5300 block of Magnolia Street, and he is known to frequent Germantown Avenue and Collum Street.

Anyone with knowledge of Johnson's whereabouts is urged to call Philadelphia Police.
