Police said as a 72-year-old woman was putting something in her truck in her home’s garage, she was approached from behind by a masked gunman. The suspect pointed a handgun at her and demanded her car keys.

The woman began screaming, alerting her 75-year-old husband to open the front door and check on her, police said. The suspect then pointed the gun at the man and demanded the keys again. The gunman then followed the man into the home, took the keys to their four-door BMW sedan and then drove away.
