A man was threatened with a gun and his car was stolen in the Castro this week, the Bay Area Reporter writes.
Officer Albie Esparza says the incident occurred at 12:50 a.m. on Sunday on the 2000 block of Market Street near Safeway.
The 31-year-old victim was inside his BMW X5 when two suspects, described by police as black males between 30 and 40 year of age, opened the front and back doors and jumped inside. According to Esparza, they “brandished a gun,” and forced him from the vehicle.
SFist has reached out to Officer Esparza for updates and further details.
This incident happened very near where a car belonging to two young female tourists was stolen back in August, a story which made headlines because it was stolen with a beloved dog still inside. The car was quickly found a block away on Duboce, and the pooch was unharmed, though she'd been locked in there a day and a half.
