Last Sunday, Brentwood Police responded to an emergency call after an adult male was assaulted and robbed by two teenagers demanding he send money via a cash app before abducting him in his vehicle. The incident occurred near McClarren Road and Griffith Lane around 6:40 PM.
According to the victim's account, he managed to escape from his captors and contact the authorities. Brentwood Police, acting on the information provided, traced the suspects back to a residence on Griffith Lane. According to the City of Brentwood Police Department's Facebook page, the department detailed that the residence was known to them from prior interactions.
