Crime Stoppers is asking for assistance from the community for information leading to the arrest of the person or persons responsible for a kidnapping / robbery incident that occurred on the night of March 15, 2005.
On that day, the victim, an Asian male, had just walked out of the Nang Ocha Store in San Vicente. The victim got into his gray 2004 Toyota Corolla with license plate ADJ 302. As the victim was leaving, two male individuals, described as locals, got into the victim’s car. One individual got into the front passenger’s seat. He was described as having short hair, light skin tone, wearing gray long pants and a bluish colored t-shirt. The second individual got into the back seat. The victim could not describe him.
The victim was told to drive to Kim’s store on Navy Hill. Fearing for his safety he complied. As they were driving up Navy Hill Road, the individual in the back seat looped a wire around the victim’s neck trying to choke him. The victim immediately pulled along the shoulder of the road by the Futaba Apartments. At the same time, the individual in the front seat started to punch the victim. The victim was then tied up, robbed and forced into the back seat where his face was covered.
The victim indicated that they drove around for awhile but that he could not tell where they were. The vehicle came to a stop and after some time had passed, the victim sensed that there was nobody else in the car. The victim then was able to free himself. Not knowing where he was, he flagged down a vehicle that was passing by and asked for help. The victim learned that he was down by the Lau Lau Bay area. The police were notified at about 11:00pm.
