Tracy Press

A jewelry store owner from Tracy is kidnapped, but his captors are arrested.

Two men and a woman were arrested in Manteca late Thursday on suspicion of kidnapping a jewelry store owner from Tracy.

Manteca police said the Tracy man was at a motel in Manteca when he was kidnapped and forced to take his abductors to his store. Police did not name the man but said he owns Ybarra Brothers Jewelers, at 3085 N. Tracy Blvd.

A police officer reportedly saw the victim jump from his car with his hands tied somewhere in downtown Manteca. The officer chased the suspects to a Manteca neighborhood and arrested them at a dead-end.

Details weren’t available at press time.

I'm with Bella. The circumstances sound sketchy. Sounds like he was not making a good choice.

Hmmm. I didn't read where it said that he met a woman at a motel. He could have been there for many reasons like he was to tired to drive all the way back to Tracy, his car broke down, he might have went there for a knot tying lesson.

I thought the guy was a hero for himself and I posted it. Don't see it now tho. I thought, but after reading the comments and the Manteca Bulliten Ybarra had more on his agenda I bet.
