The video, captured by a doorbell camera, shows the female UPS driver being carjacked at gunpoint.

"It’s very brazen, in the middle of the day. Most of the homes have cameras, so to do that right in front of everybody’s house who has front view cameras, it’s a little unnerving," a neighbor shared.

As the video spread, viewers were astonished by the audacity of the carjacking, which unfolded in plain sight.

The victim's immediate reaction was to call 911, alerting the authorities to the crime.

Fortunately, the UPS driver was not physically harmed during the carjacking.

Residents in the neighborhood, shaken by the incident, hope for increased safety measures to prevent such brazen acts in the future.

While the stolen UPS truck was eventually recovered abandoned, the suspects remain at large.

Police are actively investigating the incident and are determined to apprehend those responsible for this shocking crime.
