Two kidnappers are facing a long list of charges after they abducted a male victim off the street on June 8, 2018.

According to investigators, a 32-year-old male was walking in the area 0f Sargent Avenue and Victor Street when a van stopped beside him. Two people jumped out, hit the victim in the head and dragged him into the van. His hands were then bound and the abductors took his wallet, cash, banking cards and cell phone.

The victim was then taken to a Spence Street address, tied to a chair and assaulted by the suspects who demanded he turn over his PIN number.

The victim said that a garbage bag was placed over his head and he was forced to breathe in methamphetamine while the abductors held a knife to his throat. The man said that he was also hung out a window, burned with cigarettes and threatened with a gun to his head as the assailants tried to get him to give up his PIN.
