DETROIT (WWJ) -- Detroit police are asking for help in identifying a trio of suspects that were caught on camera carjacking a man and a woman coming out of a gas station on the city's west side last month.
Police say just before 3 a.m. on Sept. 28, two victims were inside the gas station when a silver Ford Taurus pulled in the parking lot and waited for them to come out. As the victims walked out to their 2018 black Nissan, one suspect got out of the Ford and pulled a gun on them, demanding their personal property.
Two other suspects got out of the car, searched the victims and took their belongings, before one man got in the Nissan and drove out of the parking lot behind the other two suspects in the Ford.
