On Friday, May 08, 2015 at about 5:12 PM, officers from the Pomona Police Department’s Major Crimes Task Force conducted a traffic stop in the area of 1700 Gillette Rd. regarding a vehicle code violation.

During the pursuit an occupant of the suspect vehicle was seen discarding a firearm from the suspect vehicle. At the conclusion of the pursuit the driver of the suspect vehicle and two additional male occupants were taken into-custody. A fourth occupant of the vehicle was found to be a victim of a kidnapping.
