Police investigate kidnapping, theft
The Little Rock Police Department is investigating the kidnapping and robbery of a 16-year-old boy that occurred Friday, according to a police report.
The incident happened at 14425 Wimbledon Loop.
Officers responded to the address and made contact with the victim, a minor who said he was robbed at gunpoint.
The boy said he was taking out the trash when a black four-door Acura pulled up to him.
Two Black males then pulled guns on him and ordered him to get in the car and hand over his phone, the boy said.
Once he was in the back seat, the suspects drove the car to a park down the street, according to the victim.
At the park, the suspect in the front passenger seat got in the back and again pointed a gun at the boy.
The boy said he was told to transfer all of his money to the suspect on CashApp via the username $4BoyyJay, an account under the name of Jaylon Smith.
He said the transaction wouldn't go through. The suspect in the back seat then added his bank card to the account, transferred about $200, then deleted the card.
The suspects then ordered the boy out of the car and left the park, the boy said.
The boy called his father to inform him of the incident.
During the investigation, the victim told officers one of the men had a wave haircut and the other had braids.
