In one case, the suspect approached the occupant of a car on Grouse Place, brandished a firearm, and demanded the car keys. After obtaining the keys, the suspect fled on foot but returned later and stole the car. In a second case, the suspect approached the driver of a car on Eagle Court, brandished a firearm, and stole the victim’s vehicle at gunpoint.
