Women Held at Gunpoint Forced to Get Cash From ATMs: Cops

San Diego Police arrested a suspect Thursday who they say forced two women to drive him to ATMs and pull money from their accounts at gunpoint.

The victims told police a man walked up to them as they were getting in to their vehicle on 7700 Draper Avenue in La Jolla on May 4 just after midnight.

Threatening them with a gun, the suspect forced them into their car and ordered them to drive to nearby ATMs, according to SDPD Lt. Chris McGrath.

Both women were told to withdraw a significant amount of money from their account. They complied.

The man then ordered them to drop him off at a specific location, where he took the money and ran off. McGrath did not say where the man was dropped off or how much money he stole.

After months of investigation, police identified 24-year-old Keith Russell Lucket as the suspect in this case.

Lucket was arrested Thursday at a Moreno Valley home and booked into jail on two counts of kidnapping and two counts of robbery with a gun.
