The suspects -- two women and a man -- are facing kidnapping,
robbery and attempted murder charges.
Detectives said a woman identified as Catrina Cameron, 21,
befriended two Gilroy residents over the weekend. On Monday, she allegedly
lured them to her apartment in the 8800 block of Lilly Avenue.
There, Cameron, along with two other people whom police identified
as 23-year-old Tamaya Duenas and 22-year-old Nathaniel Garcia, allegedly
confronted the victims with knives and a gun, police officials said.
They allegedly attacked the victims, robbed them of their personal
belongings and took them to a nearby ATM, where they withdrew money from the
victims' bank accounts, according to police.
Afterward, they took the victims to Sprig Lake, bound and
blindfolded them, and pushed them off a 15-foot bridge, police officials
said.
The victims suffered significant injuries but are expected to
survive, according to police.
After the crime was reported to police Monday night, officers
served a search warrant at the home of Cameron and Duenas. They were
accompanied by a regional SWAT team and allegedly found evidence connecting
the suspects to the crime.
Cameron, Duenas and Garcia were arrested and booked into Santa
Clara County jail.
Police are continuing to investigate the crime and are asking
anyone with information to contact Detective Devlin at (408) 846-0350 or
leave an anonymous tip at (800) 782-7463.
