Video shows Moment 2 being kidnapped from a Chicago restaurant – NBC Chicago

Surveillance cameras captured the frightening moment two people were kidnapped from a Chicago restaurant and forced into a vehicle at gunpoint.

In the footage, a man and a woman can be seen outside a restaurant in the city’s Little Village neighborhood when a vehicle pulls up and two men, at least one of whom was holding a gun, try to pat them down and take items. The two force the man and woman to unlock their vehicle before also unlocking the door they were standing in front of.

Sometime later, the four exited the building before the man and woman were forced into another vehicle, which eventually drove away from the scene.

Chicago police said the two were driven to several ATMs and forced to withdraw money.

The incident occurred around 3 a.m. in the 3400 block of West 26th Street, according to police.

The two victims were a 48-year-old man and a 39-year-old woman who were about to enter a restaurant when the dark SUV pulled up next to them, police said.

A total of five men were involved, three of whom were armed with firearms.

The suspects eventually freed the victims from their vehicle and fled, police said. The man and woman suffered no physical injuries and refused treatment, police added.

According to officials, no one was in custody and the criminal investigation department was investigating.
