KABC -- An attempted carjacking turned into a wild demolition-derby rampage in a parking lot in Agoura Hills, with the whole incident unfolding on video. A suspect tried to steal a woman's purse, then took her car and ended up smashing into multiple parked vehicles in her effort to get away as bystanders tried to stop her. The incident started around noon Friday when the year-old female suspect approached a year-old woman in the parking lot of an Agoura Hills shopping center, officials say. She first tried to steal her purse, investigators say, but she then pulled the driver out of her vehicle, jumped in behind the wheel and put the car in reverse, flooring it as the victim screamed. She backed into one car and then as bystanders started screaming at her to "Get out of the car" she tried to accelerate away, but ended up smashing into first one vehicle and then another. Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department officials later said the car was difficult for the suspect to maneuver because it was still equipped with a Club anti-theft device on the steering wheel.
