Also on Friday night, a UPS driver was robbed at gunpoint and kidnapped in Northeast Portland. While the UPS driver was delivering packages, four suspects approached him. One pointed a gun at him and the other three duct-taped his wrists.
The thieves heisted the UPS truck and put the UPS driver in a light-colored Honda. "After a short distance, the suspects stopped, stole packages from the truck, released the driver and took off in their Honda. The driver was not hurt," as reported by KOIN-TV.
