Aurora police said they are working with the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office to investigate the possible connection between carjackings in Maple Park and Aurora Saturday.
Just before 3:30 p.m., Maple Park police responded to the area of County Line Road and Peterson Road after a report of a carjacking.
Officers said the victim said they pulled over to help what appeared to be an accident when three offenders appeared from two vehicles, with one producing a handgun. They forced the victim out of their vehicle before taking off westbound down Barber Greene Road, police said.
The woman's car taken from Aurora has not yet been found, officials said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Aurora police.
