#Boulder Armed Car Jacking On April 21, 2015, at approximately 4:45 PM, Boulder P.D. officers were called to a reported armed carjacking that occurred in a parking lot just north of Canyon Blvd., east of 21st Street. The 19 y/o victim advised that two white males and two black males lured him into their vehicle. During this time, one of the black males began rifling through the victim’s car. When the victim attempted to get out of the suspects’ car, three of the suspects brandished semi-automatic handguns. The suspects used plastic ties to bind the victim’s hands. The victim was able to escape from the vehicle, and ran west on Canyon. He returned several minutes later to find his vehicle was stolen. The victim sustained minor injuries.
