A man has been arrested after allegedly carjacking a woman and her son with a knife in Hialeah, police said.
On May 27, Hialeah police say 32-year-old Yasniel Ordonez approached a mother in her driveway as she was getting ready to take her son to school.
Investigators say the suspect screamed at her to get out of the 2020 Jaguar F-Pace.
Police say the woman and son ran inside their home and were able to help officers locate the car through the Jaguar In Control App— a vehicle tracking system.

Officers kept working the case, later putting the suspect in a photo lineup where the two victims identified him.
He was arrested again this week for armed robbery and carjacking.
