PENN HILLS (KDKA) -- Two men are charged with kidnapping a woman in Penn Hills.
Jabree Thornhill, 24, and Aundre Artemus, 20, are facing a string of charges including: kidnapping, unlawful restraint, indecent assault and criminal conspiracy.
Police say the men approached the alleged victim at a bus stop in Wilkinsburg and offered to drive her to a bus stop closer to her house.
Once inside the vehicle, the men told her they would buy her food if she performed oral sex. She refused, but they wouldn't let her go.
"During the transportation throughout the various areas she asked to be let out of the car, which they would not do. They actually activated the child car locks so she couldn't get out," said Penn Hills Police Chief Howard Burton.
