Couple in Lamborghini kidnapped and beaten while house hunting, police say.

Six men from Florida were arrested after their getaway van crashed.

Recently, a shocking kidnapping case has drawn widespread attention in Danbury, Connecticut. It is reported that a couple in their 50s were subjected to a terrifying kidnapping and assault while looking at houses in the area on the weekend.

The incident occurred on Sunday afternoon. At that time, the couple was driving their Lamborghini sports car when they were deliberately rear-ended by six men from Florida. Subsequently, these six men forcibly pushed the couple into the back seat of a van. Inside the vehicle, these people brutally beat the couple with baseball bats. They not only bound the couple's hands and feet with tape but also blindfolded the male victim.

Some of the suspects fled the scene in the Lamborghini, while the others tried to escape in the van carrying the victims. According to Officer Steven Castrovince, "It is obvious that the kidnapped couple was hit by baseball bats. The male victim was seriously injured with bruises and swelling. They said they had been beaten with baseball bats many times."

Fortunately, a brave witness promptly alerted law enforcement and tracked the van until it crashed out of control. The police took quick action and successfully arrested four men in the van and rescued the kidnapped couple. Then they arrested the other two men.

The police revealed that the two victims have been sent to the hospital for treatment and are currently recovering from their injuries. Fortunately, there is no danger to life.

These six suspects are currently facing multiple charges including first-degree assault, first-degree kidnapping, and reckless endangerment. However, the motive for this incident is still unclear, and the police have not yet found an obvious connection between the suspects and the victims. The six arrested men are Angel Borero, 23, Reynaldo Diaz, 22, Anthony Pena, 23, Jose Romero, 26, Ricardo Estrada, 21, and Michael Rivas, 18. The local police said they will continue to thoroughly investigate this case to thoroughly find out the truth and the reasons behind the incident.
