Las Vegas police are looking for a woman they said kidnapped an "elderly" person at knifepoint and forced the person to withdraw money from an ATM before stealing it from them.
About 1:20 p.m. Nov. 17, a woman kidnapped an older person at knifepoint from a convenience store parking lot in the 4800 block of West Charleston Boulevard, near the intersection of Decatur Boulevard. The woman forced the person into his/her own car and took the driver's seat, according to a police release issued Monday afternoon.
