Woman at Bus Stop Kidnapped, Raped
Simi Valley police put out an alert Sunday for two men suspected of kidnapping and raping a transient woman.
According to police, the 37-year-old woman was sitting on a bus bench at the intersection of Cochran and 1st streets when two males in a white, 1980s-model Pontiac Firebird with a black eagle emblem on the hood pulled her into the car about 1 a.m. Sunday. They drove around for about four hours before parking behind a restaurant at 1152 Los Angeles Ave.
They made her get out of the car, then one of the suspects held her while the other man raped her, police said.
The woman was taken to Ventura County Medical Center, where she was examined and released.
Police said the woman described one suspect as 6 feet tall, white, about 21 years old, with blue eyes, short brown curly hair and “Jessica” tattooed across his chest.
The other suspect was described as 5 feet, 8 inches, of unknown race, about 25 years old with straight brown hair and a slender build. He was wearing a gold baseball cap.
