SUMMARY:
On September 26, 2014, a 65 year old male victim came to the Sheriff's Fontana Station to report he had been assaulted and kidnapped at his residence in Bloomington. Two Hispanic male suspects confronted the victim and demanded the victim to tell them the whereabouts of a female involved in a relationship with one of the suspects. The suspects forced the victim away from his residence and drove him to an undisclosed area of San Bernardino where they continued to assault him and threaten him. The victim was tied up with an electrical cord and driven to a residence in Riverside. Once the suspects discovered the whereabouts of the female, the suspects released the victim but threatened to kill him if he alerted the police.

Fontana Station detectives conducted an extensive follow-up investigation and identified one of the suspects as Roberto Marcos. Surveillance was conducted at Marcos' residence in Riverside and detectives took Marcos into custody as he attempted to drive away. Evidence related to the kidnapping was revovered from Marcos' residence during a subsequent search warrant. Marcos is in custody at Central Detention Center on charges of Kidnapping and Terrorist Threats. He is being held on $600,000. bail.

Detectives are still seeking information on the second suspect, an unidentified Hispanic male in his early 30's. Anyone with additional information regarding this case can contact Detective Joe Parker or Sergeant Mark Martinez at the Fontana Station.
