Provo police are seeking the public's help in finding two of three suspects who allegedly abducted and robbed a woman this past weekend.
Sgt. Mathew Siufanua said arrest warrants alleging aggravated kidnapping and aggravated robbery had been issued for Travis Shawn Sanchez, 24, and Jeffrey Ryan Richmond, 32. Siufanua said the two had been identified by the 36-year-old victim in the Oct. 23 incident in southwest Provo.
Both men are believed to have fled the immediate area and are being sought by Provo police and the Utah County Joint Criminal Apprehension Team. The third suspect was not identified.
The victim told investigators she had called one of the men the night of Oct. 23 about 8 p.m. to take her to a friend's house. The man arrived with two other people she didn't know. As they drove around, but not to the destination, she became suspicious and attempted to exit the vehicle, Siufanua told The Salt Lake Tribune earlier.
The suspects allegedly restrained her, rummaged through her pockets and purse and stole cash from her. They then dropped her off at Provo's Footprinters Park, Siufanua said.
She ran to a stranger's home and called police.
Anyone with information on Travis Shawn Sanchez or Jeffery Ryan Richmond should contact Detective Troy Morgan at 801-852-7292.
