Stolen ‘Hawkeye colors’ car the subject of a police search
Authorities in central Iowa are asking the public for help in spotting a distinctive and stolen vehicle.
The 2017 Dodge Charger is bright yellow with a black hood, roof, and trunk.
Its owner met with an interested buyer on Sunday afternoon in Des Moines, but during a test drive, the buyer pulled a handgun and carjacked the vehicle.
Des Moines police connected the dots to an accomplice vehicle where someone was spotted earlier switching license plates in West Des Moines.
They reached out to Ames police, who found the accomplice vehicle and the accused 17-year-old carjacker.
He’s now in custody on a string of charges, including for a handgun police recovered that was stolen in Illinois. The Charger though, is still missing.
If you see the yellow-and-black Dodge, contact the Des Moines Police Department right away.
