A car stolen from a couple at gunpoint in Denver Saturday night was spotted in Adams County Sunday morning, but was not apprehended by police.
The carjacking and robbery happened at a car wash, at 1980 W. Mississippi Ave., around 8 p.m. Saturday night, said Denver police spokesperson Sonny Jackson. A suspect was described as a white or Hispanic male with tattoos on his face.
The victims, whose names were not released by police, said that the suspect took off toward west Mississippi Avenue in the black 2005 Chevy Malibu, Jackson said.
The car was last seen by an Adams County deputy near Interstate-25 and 58th Avenue a little before 8 a.m. Sunday.
The deputy identified the car by its license plate and attempted to stop it, but the driver accelerated, said Adams County spokesperson Sgt. Paul Gregory.
The suspect is still at large. The deputy did not chase the stolen car because it was unsafe, Gregory said.
