(FOX40.COM) — Sacramento deputies arrested a victim’s ex-boyfriend and an accomplice for breaking in and kidnapping her on Wednesday, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s office said.
Just after 4 p.m. on Howe Avenue, a woman called to report that someone had broken her window and was trying to get into her residence. Another caller reported a woman being dragged into a black sedan by a male, SCSO said.
While arriving at the scene, a deputy noticed a black sedan that matched the description of the vehicle driving on Howe Avenue. Officials said that in the vehicle, the deputy noticed a man driving and a man who seemed out of breath in the back of the vehicle with a woman.
After pulling into a gas station, deputies detained the driver, as well as the man in the backseat. The woman was found uninjured, according to SCSO. The two men were identified as 33-year-old Andrew Afoa and 42-year-old Thomas Abila.
Deputies later discovered that Abila broke a window and Afoa kicked in the front door of the victim’s residence. SCSO said that Abila grabbed the victim by her hair and dragged her inside the vehicle while Afoa grabbed the victim’s wallet.
The victim had an active restraining order against Abila as he was found to be the victim’s ex-boyfriend. Authorities reported that records also revealed Afoa was on probation for a felony hit and run.
Both suspects were booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail. They did appear in court on Friday.
