A Minneapolis woman is accusing several carjacking suspects — possibly teenagers — of holding a gun to her boyfriend’s head in their family garage.
The suspects entered the family’s garage before the woman’s boyfriend had time to close the door and demanded he hand over his car keys and iCloud password, which he could not remember, the woman told FOX 9 Minneapolis.
“He didn’t know off the top of his head what his iCloud password was, so they started punching him in the face with the gun held up to him — which my children could see from the back door,” the woman, who asked to remain anonymous out of fear for her safety, said.

Security camera footage from a Dec. 18 carjacking incident obtained by FOX 9 shows at least four apparent young men and a fifth person — possibly a woman who remained in their getaway SUV — approaching the young family’s home.

The victim told FOX 9 that police have located her vehicle, but it will remain impounded due to a “large backlog.”

She added that she thinks the high number of carjacking incidents in the area is a “symptom of some pretty serious problems” in Minneapolis and the city’s “lack of support for these kids and for the impoverished.”
