Mom Pulls Toddler From Suv Moments Before Armed Carjackers Take Vehicle
The St. Paul Police Department hopes that a frightening incident on Tuesday morning would serve as a reminder to the community to be mindful of their surroundings and to follow their instincts. According to authorities, a mother was robbed at gunpoint and her car was stolen with only enough time for her 3-year-old child to flee.
Two ladies were robbed by armed automobile robbers at Billy’s On Grand Avenue shortly before 10 a.m. The first target told FOX 9 that she was just about to park her car when another car drew up and a guy wearing a ski mask rushed out. She bolted up the street from him, locked her car behind her and called the cops.
The truck was eventually found by Ramsey County Sheriff’s officers, who arrested three persons during the day.

The suspects are suspected of being engaged in other carjackings throughout the metro, according to authorities. It’s a crime that’s become more widespread in recent months. Across the river in Minneapolis, police recorded nine carjackings during the holiday weekend and five automobiles were taken in Golden Valley in the previous 24 hours after several were left running.
