A Missouri boyfriend and girlfriend are wanted for a series of home invasions, robberies and kidnappings across Alabama — and are believed to have abducted strangers and stolen cars in multiple cities, authorities said.
Felony arrest warrants were secured in Jefferson County, Ala., for Blake Fitzgerald and Brittany Harper, 31, of Joplin, Mo. Fitzgerald and Harper are both charged with kidnapping and theft of property, while Fitzgerald also faces a first-degree burglary charge.
Fitzgerald and Harper are considered "armed and dangerous," police said.
The pair are dating, according to their Facebook profiles.
At this point, no one has been injured.
The charges are related to a woman who was abducted from her Vestavia Hills home, and later released unharmed at a nearby hospital, police said.
Earlier, authorities believe Fitzgerald tried to rob a McDonald's manager — approaching the woman, later identified as Zora Harris, with a handgun and demanding cash and car keys.
"He said, 'Give me the (expletive) car,' and that's when he pulled the gun and said, 'I'm not (expletive) playing with you,'" Harris told AL.com.
The victim threw her keys on the ground, yelled for help and ran. She's thankful that she wasn't abducted or shot.
"I believe God had to be intervening,'' Harris told AL.com. "I think I was covered by an angel today."
The crime spree allegedly began Saturday at a motel in Tuscaloosa, when a male employee was robbed at gunpoint and forced into his own vehicle — before he was later let go.
Fitzgerald has faced similar charges in the past. He and another man were accused of robbing a 63-year-old woman at knifepoint in 2013, according to the Joplin Globe.
