PACIFICA (CBS SF) -- A tip from an alert resident led to the arrest of a 26-year-old Pacifica man Friday on charges that include kidnapping and burglary, according to police.
Officers were notified shortly before 7 a.m. of noises inside a supposedly vacant residence in the 1100 block of Manzanita Drive, police said. The calling party went to investigate and reported seeing two people leaving in a vehicle.
"During the preliminary investigation it was reported one of the subjects that had been seen may have been kidnapped and a firearm may have been involved," according to police, who put out an all-points bulletin based on the information.
