PEMBROROKE PINES, FL — Early Sunday morning at 05:30 a.m., the Pembroke Pines Police received a call from the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office advising that there were two victims in their jurisdiction who had been kidnapped at gunpoint outside of their home in Pembroke Pines.
Parents of a teen girl said that they had returned to their home at 12:30 a.m. and were confronted by the suspect, 37-year-old Jaddier T. Sanchez. The suspect forced all three victims into a vehicle belonging to the family, a 2007 red Dodge Ram pick-up truck bearing Florida Tag #PYDC13.
The suspect then drove them to various banks to withdraw money from the ATM’s.
The suspect then drove to Palm Beach County where he left the parents on the side of the road. He then left in the stolen vehicle without releasing 18-year-old Nicole Martinez, who is being held against her will, police said.
Police said Sanchez is “known to the victims through their daughter” but did not elaborate. Sanchez is considered armed and dangerous.
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of the suspect, Martinez or the stolen vehicle, is asked to contact police via 911 or the Pembroke Pines Police Department at 954-431- 2200.
