CHARLOTTE AMALIE — Two of three men who allegedly kidnapped a St. Thomas man from his home and took him to another location seven months ago were arrested last month, authorities said.
Eduardo Delli and Alejandro Santana of the Dominican Republic were each arrested and charged with kidnapping, unauthorized possession of a firearm, “and other charges,” the Virgin Islands Police Department said.
“The charges stem from an incident on May 1, where three men kidnapped an individual from his home and transported him to another location,” the VIPD said on Twitter.
The VIPD issued a tweet on Twitter about the kidnapping on October 19.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) often gets involved officially in cases where U.S. Virgin Islands citizens are kidnapped at gunpoint.
No further information was immediately available about Delli and Santana.
Anyone with information about the kidnapping is urged to call the Criminal Investigation Bureau at: (340) 714-9801.
