DETROIT (WWJ) – Police in Detroit are searching for a man and a woman accused of carjacking a man on the city’s west side last month.
A 31-year-old man was sitting in his blue Chevy Malibu in the 4500 block of Allendale Street – near I-96 and Tireman Avenue – around 11:30 p.m. on April 23 when he was approached by the man and woman, according to Detroit police.
The suspects ordered him out of the car at gunpoint and then made him sit in the passenger seat.
The male suspect then jumped in the driver’s seat and drove off with the victim, while the female suspect followed them in a silver Chrysler Town & Country minivan.
Authorities say they drove to a gas station about a mile away on Tireman near Colfax Avenue. Authorities say that’s where the suspects robbed the victim and then let him go.
