Durham family reunited with dog after car stolen at gunpoint
A Durham man is relieved to have his dog back after his car was stolen at gunpoint Monday night with his beloved pet, Bella, inside.
Posted — UpdatedAdonis Jordan on Tuesday told WRAL News he found Bella more than a week after the Aug. 7 carjacking.
While getting a snack at a convenience store on Fayetteville Road, Jordan said he made the mistake of leaving his car running with his dog inside while he went into the store.
When he came back, he saw someone in his car and tried to stop them.
"I just kinda put my hands up and said 'I don't want any trouble,'" Jordan said. "I just kinda of ran over, and me and this person got into a scuffle."
Jordan said that's when someone else pulled up in a black car and pointed a gun at him.
"They pointed it directly at my face," he said. "The guy was mad because he said I punched his brother."
Jordan said one of the men took off in his car. But thanks to a GPS tracker, his wife was able to help police find it.
His 13-year-old daughter Sydney was heartbroken to lose Bella, who was a gift for her last year.
Jordan and his daughter were relieved when someone on social media contacted them and said they found Bella.
Durham police are investigating the incident and are looking for two suspects.
