Emporia Police are searching for two females as they investigate a hit-and-run incident that apparently includes a kidnapping.
Capt. Ray Mattas says the two suspects hit a cyclist at a currently unlisted location in east-central Emporia around 11:30 pm, resulting in “significant” injuries and the kidnapping of the cyclist. The victim was later located and is safe, although there is no immediate word of that person’s medical condition.
Suspect descriptions are not immediately available.
Mattas says they left the scene in an unknown color passenger car, possibly silver or tan. The car had a broken windshield as a result of the wreck.
