Philadelphia Police are looking for a carjacking suspect accused of holding a FedEx driver at gunpoint and tying him up before stealing his vehicle.
The suspect entered a FedEx truck Feb. 10 around 11 a.m. in Philadelphia's Frankford neighborhood just outside of a Bulk Vintage warehouse and brandished a gun.
