REDMOND, WA – Redmond police are investigating
a carjacking that occurred at approximately 10:55 p.m. on October 13, 2017 in
the parking lot of Redmond Town Center.
The two victims, a 50-year-old woman and a
51-year-old man, were uninjured during the incident. After leaving the
restaurant, the two had been sitting in the vehicle for about 15 minutes when
the male suspect jumped in the rear seat and directed the victims to drive to a
bank.
Believing he had a gun, the female victim
drove to a bank in Kirkland where she was told to withdraw cash from the ATM
while the male victim was ordered to remain in the car. While the woman was outside,
the male victim jumped out of the vehicle and both ran to safety while the suspect
yelled for them to get back in the vehicle.
After the victims escaped, the suspect jumped
into the driver’s seat and drove off. The victims stated they never got a good
look at the suspect, who was wearing a ball cap and something on his face, and
could not provide a detailed description of him or the alleged weapon.
The stolen vehicle was recovered Saturday
afternoon after being found in a driveway of a residence in a Redmond
neighborhood. The vehicle was unoccupied and is currently being processed for fingerprints
and other evidence.
