TACOMA, Wash. — A woman was minding her own business moments before being carjacked at gunpoint in a South Tacoma laundromat.
Surveillance video shows two strangers approaching a woman with a gun and demanding that she hand over her keys. Despite the woman begging the robbers not to take them, the accomplices wrestled the keys from her hands, unlocked her minivan in the parking lot, and then drove away.
The minivan has since been found in Oregon. Even though her van was recovered, she says she is struggling to move past the brazen crime.
“I’m trying not to be afraid because right now I am. I’m really afraid, and we’re far away from home, and we have no family here,” she told KIRO 7.
She says that she was not hurt during the robbery.
