Pre-Dawn Carjacking Leads To Afternoon Pursuit
A couple's car and belongings were stolen at gunpoint while they sat at Panorama Point on Flagstaff Mountain, officials said.
LAFAYETTE, Colo. (CBS4) — A man and woman at a popular overlook above Boulder were robbed at gunpoint early Saturday morning. Police later chased their stolen vehicle through Boulder County and along I-25 but failed to corral the suspects. The stolen Lexus RX330 was last seen headed toward Greeley on State Highway 34 after Larimer County authorities called off a short pursuit.
Police were notified at 3:26 a.m. after a passerby helped the couple call 9-1-1. The pair told dispatchers their phones, wallets and car had been taken at gunpoint five minutes earlier while they sat at Panorama Point on Flagstaff Mountain. They described two young males as the suspects. One had a handgun. Gunshots were reportedly fired shots as the suspects drove away in the stolen Lexus.
