Detectives are releasing video of a trio of carjackers who targeted an elderly woman in Lauderdale Lakes earlier this week. Surveillance video from the afternoon of January 15th shows the three teens following the victim into the store from the parking lot of the Walmart at 3001 N. State Road 7, and then returning to the parking lot once she had finished her shopping.
As the victim made her way back to her car, the three young robbers split up; two of them flanked the victim while a third approached from the front. He quickly pointed a gun at the victim and demanded the keys to the victim's brown 2015 Toyota Corolla. The victim complied. The three robbers fled so abruptly that they nearly struck her with the car as they pulled out of the parking space.
All three robbers appear to be teenagers with dark complexions and medium builds. They each wore a dark blue knit cap, sandals with socks and athletic attire. Anyone with additional information is asked to contact BSO Detective Armando Enrique at 954-321-4229 or Broward Crime Stoppers, anonymously, at 954-493-TIPS (8477) or www.browardcrimestoppers.org.
Anonymous tips that lead to an arrest are eligible for a reward of up to $3,000.
