LAKE STEVENS, Wash. — A car was stolen at gunpoint from a woman waiting for her husband in Lake Stevens on Sunday, according to a Facebook post from the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office.
On Sunday evening, deputies responded to a call of an armed robbery in the 9600 block of 32nd Street Southeast.
A woman told deputies that she and her husband had pulled into a parking lot, and while the husband went inside, she stayed in their Range Rover.
Moments later, a man opened her door and pointed a gun at her chest, demanding she exit the car.
A second person got in the driver’s seat and both people fled in the car.
In an attempt to find the stolen car, deputies arrived at Bickford Avenue and found a second stolen vehicle connected to an earlier attempted robbery.
In that robbery, the car was being driven without headlights, and a short pursuit ended with all five people in the car fleeing on foot.
Deputies were able to locate and apprehend all five people.
One of the five, a 23-year-old man, had the Range Rover’s key fob in his pocket.
He was arrested and booked into the Snohomish County jail for taking a motor vehicle without permission.
Two of the five were identified as the people involved in the carjacking robbery of the Range Rover.
The two people, both juveniles, were transported to the Denny Youth Center and booked for robbery in the first degree.
A 20-year-old man also had a felony warrant out of Seattle, and was arrested and booked into a Snohomish County jail.
The fifth person, a juvenile male, was transported and released to a family member.
The stolen Range Rover was later found in the 3300 block of Bickford Avenue.
