On Feb. 15, 2015, at about 2:20pm, DPS Central received a call for a reported robbery and kidnapping. Police learned from the victim, a local female age 41, that after shopping at the Tops Store located in Dandan village, she got into her car (blue four-door Nissan Frontier pickup truck) and proceeded to back up. A male suspect, described as tall, white complexioned, clean-cut hair, wearing camouflage pants, blue slippers, with a tattoo of a cross on his right hand, jumped into the passenger seat of the victim’s car.
The suspect put a knife on the victim’s neck and told her to drive. The victim drove from Tops Store in Dandan, to China Town. During transport the suspect robbed the victim of $70 cash. As they made a turn by the Aging Center near Gold’s Gym, the suspect removed the knife from the victim’s neck and was looking for something in the back seat.
