PHOENIX -- Three police impostors smashed their way into a west Phoenix home and briefly kidnapped two men early Tuesday.

The victims were released unharmed in the north Valley, Phoenix Police Sgt. Alex Ortiz said.

He said the suspects -- two men and a woman -- "were looking for drugs and cash."

Ortiz added, "We don't know if it was random or they were targeted. We still haven't talked to the victims yet. We still haven't entered our crime scene and investigated the interior of the residence."

He said the suspects, posing as police officers, entered the home near 35th Avenue and Missouri and, "They duct-taped, actually zip-tied, some of the homeowners. After ransacking the house, they abducted two of the individuals here and called in, started asking for ransoms, cash money."

Ortiz said the victims were afraid to return home or talk to police because of their immigration status and because they feared they would be deported.

So who called?
Now they are victims and I wonder how many will just become victims of a crime just for a free pass. They do drag the kids through the desert and they pay to come here knowing they could be but in a house till they give more money. They put those kids in all sorts of danger and they know what can happen.It makes me sick that the mothers know what can happen to their young girls Just sick! Wouldn't put it pass them to con us again with the poor poor me.
