Police say that a man carjacked a 17-year-old in Byron Bay just before midnight on Friday.

The reports say that at about 11.43pm on March 5, a 17-year-old man parked his motor vehicle registration BCB 18B a silver Honda Civic, in the Lawson street carpark at Byron Bay.

As he exited the vehicle he was approached from behind by an unknown male.
