Officers tell us a 62-year-old man was kidnapped at gunpoint from his home near Vinton Thursday morning.
Police say the man was told to drive pick-up Barbara Assan, who police say the victim knows, from her home in Southwest County, then drive to Valley Bank on Starkey Road in Southwest County.
The kidnapper told the man to go inside with Assan, and withdraw money from the victim's account.
Instead, the victim gave the bank teller a warning note, the bank went on lock down, and called police.
When officers arrived, they did not find the kidnapper. However, police say their investigation revealed that Assan stole checks from the victim, and officers arrested her.
If you have any information, call Crime Line at 344-8500.
