San Leandro police arrested two children over the weekend whom they suspect were involved in an armed carjacking Friday night on Lexington Avenue.   

At about 9 p.m. Friday, officers were called to investigate a reported carjacking on the 100 block of Lexington Avenue, police said in a statement Monday.   

The victim said four suspects forced him out of his vehicle while he was delivering pizza and that one had a gun and demanded his keys.
