Robbery
May 10, 2025, at approximately 0100 hours, on the 9000 block of Vicar St. A violent home invasion and
kidnapping incident appears to have been a case of mistaken identity. The victims, a married couple with
one child, had recently moved into their home on the 9000 block of Vicar Street.
The suspects may have intended to target a former resident of the home who is a high-profile
individual. On the night of the incident, the current residents were asleep when the sound of
shattering glass woke them. Four suspects entered the home and quickly restrained the victims.
The suspects stole the victims’ phones and tablets, then kidnapped the male victim and fled the
scene in a dark-colored, older-model pickup truck.
During the kidnapping, the suspects repeatedly referred to the victim by a different name,
confirming the case of mistaken identity. They also attempted, unsuccessfully, to access the
victim’s banking applications in an effort to transfer money. The kidnapped victim later contacted
police after being dropped off in the city of Montrose, California.

May 9, 2025, at approximately 2020 hours, on the 9800 block of Vidor Dr. Three suspects forcibly
