CA - Pomona police stumble onto kidnapping in progress

Officers in Pomona were attempting to conduct a vehicle stop on Friday night and a short pursuit began.

During the pursuit a gun was tossed out the window.

Turns out that it was a kidnapping in process and they just happened upon if thanks to the traffic stop attempt.

At the conclusion of the pursuit the driver of the suspect vehicle and two additional male occupants were taken into-custody. A fourth occupant of the vehicle was found to be a victim of a kidnapping. The victim identified Suspect Gonzales and Suspect Sanchez as the suspects who held the victim captive by use of fear tactics
