(CBS) POMONA, Calif. A carjacking victim was found Tuesday in the trunk of his car, where he was left by three suspects who robbed him before trying unsuccessfully to burn the sedan with him inside, Pomona police said.
The unidentified Fontana resident was targeted about 11 Monday night, when he stopped for a red light on Phillips Ranch Road approaching the on-ramp to the Pomona (60) Freeway, said Pomona police Cpl. Paul Capraro.
A suspect climbed into the victim's 2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo through an unlocked passenger door and pointed a handgun at him, Capraro said.
He ordered the man to drive to a secluded area near the entrance to Diamond Ranch High School, where two other suspects were waiting, corporal said.
The three men, dressed in dark clothing and ski masks, robbed the motorist of currency and other items in the car before ordering him into the trunk and dousing him with gasoline, Capraro said.
When they couldn't find a way to ignite the gasoline, they locked him in the trunk and fled, police said.
About 5 Tuesday morning, a Pomona school district employee patrolling the area found the victim's vehicle and called police, who found the man in the trunk.
The victim was treated by paramedics and taken to a hospital for treatment of what were described as minor injuries.
