Inept Kidnappers Send Victim Into Bank --- Alone

Monday, January 29, 2007 – updated: 12:35 pm EST January 29, 2007

A pair of inept kidnappers sent their victim into a bank alone to withdraw money while they went next door to buy chicken sandwiches, according to police.

The victim told police the two men held her against her will at the Highland Parc Apartments in Cobb County over the weekend.

She says the men then drove her to the Wachovia bank on Windy Hill Road and ordered her to withdraw money.

They allowed her to go into the bank alone while they went next door to Chick-fil-A to pick up snacks, according to the woman.

"The victim passed a note to a bank employee alerting her to the situation," said Officer Wayne Delk of the Cobb County Police Department.

Bank employees called 911 and police descended on the area.

Officers arrested one of the kidnapping suspects when he tried to run from the fast food restaurant. The second suspect escaped.
