The suspect reportedly forced the victim to get into the passenger's side of the car while the suspect got into the driver's seat. Deputies say the suspect drove the victim's vehicle to the bank, where the suspect tried to use the victim's ATM card to get cash.
While the suspect was distracted, investigators say the victim was able to escape and run for help. The suspect fled in the victim's vehicle, which was found abandoned the next day.
The victim's stolen card was used at a nearby gas station. Surveillance video captured images of two suspects in a newer model Gray Dodge Charger. The car's license plates were covered with duct tape.
After an investigation, detectives determined the same two suspects were likely the same men responsible for another armed robbery near the 12000 block of F.M. 1960. They say the suspects attempted to rob a couple as they were loading their groceries. The couple fought with the armed suspect. He fled from the scene and was picked up by a newer model gray Dodge Charger.
