ABC-6 reported that Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon, who represents the 5th Congressional District, which includes almost half of Lower Merion, was carjacked today. The incident occurred at FDR Park in South Philadelphia.
According to the Inquirer – Around 2:45 p.m., Scanlon was walking alone back to her car on the 1900 block of Pattison Avenue when she was approached by two armed men who demanded her car keys and personal belongings, according to Cox.
Scanlon handed over her belongings — including personal cell phone, federal government cell phone and personal ID — and the two men drove away in her 2017 Acura MDX.
“She’s physically OK, but her vehicle and possessions are gone,” Cox told The Inquirer.
