Detroit police are searching for suspects who robbed, kidnapped and carjacked two women at the MotorCity Casino Hotel.
Police say it happened Thursday around 5 a.m.
The two grandmothers were leaving the casino when they were confronted on the roof of the parking garage by a man with a gun.
He physically forced them into the car, robbed them and forced them to drive to a field near Schoolcraft on the west side of the city.
“I thought we were going to die,” says victim Janet Dupree.
The two victims, who are also sisters, were left without money in a neighborhood they didn’t know. A good Samaritan helped them get to a police precinct.
Surveillance video captured the suspect hours before the robbery. He is seen having a conversation with a security guard.
