Investigators with the
Lincoln County Sheriff's Office are
looking for three black male suspects
in a kidnapping and assault that
occurred last month.
The Sheriff's Office says on Nov. 23,
two white male teens were walking on
Salem Church Road towards Lincolnton
when a red GMC Jimmy stopped just
above Hill Road.
The three suspects ordered the teens
in the vehicle at gunpoint, where the
victims were blindfolded and driven
to Mt. Holly.
The boys, aged 18 and 19, were
assaulted and turned loose as well as
robbed of $20.
The driver of the SUV is described as
a black male in his 20s,
five-feet-eight inches tall and 140
pounds with dread locks and a right
arm deformity. The front SUV
passenger is a black male also in his
20s, six-feet-two inches tall
weighing about 190 pounds with a
buzzed hair cut, slight goatee
wearing an Elton Brand jersey.
The back-seat passenger is also in
his 20s, six feet tall weighing about
155 pounds with a short and scruffy
afro and diamond-like earrings in
both ears.
Anyone with information is asked to
call the Lincoln County Sheriff's
Office at (704) 732-9050 or
Crimestoppers at (704) 736-8909.
Anonymous tips leading to an arrest
in any crime may be eligible for a
reward of up to $1,000.
