MILLCREEK -- A woman was kidnapped and held for ransom Tuesday night and her husband crashed his car into a police substation in an effort to get help after he was forced at gunpoint into his vehicle.
Unified police Lt. Don Hutson said two men entered the home of the owner of Monarch Coins. The suspects bound the owner's wife, then one suspect stayed at the home while another left with the man.
The man was forced into his vehicle at gunpoint, and he was driving on 3900 South when he crashed his vehicle into the police substation in order to alert police of the crisis.
Kathleen Barrett described what she saw. She said, "Seconds after the crash, someone exited the car from the passenger side and ran really quickly down the street on 39th South, past the police building and then immediately one of the officers came out the front door, and I screamed to him that he was, the suspect was running down the street."
"We saw somebody crawl across the front seat, got out the passenger side, but obviously came from the driver's side to the passenger side all in black: black backpack, black hoodie, and ran up 39th or west on 39th," said Karen Price.
Two people are in custody. Police say a third person was involved, but no deals on his involvement were released.
When police went to the house, they found the wife tied up. They say she was unharmed.
Police believe the motive was robbery.
Meanwhile, hazmat teams are at the substation. The truck actually sheered the natural gas line, filling the police substation. It was evacuated and the gas line was shut off.
