Couple in Lamborghini Kidnapped and Assaulted During House Hunting in Connecticut

A couple in their 50s were kidnapped and assaulted in Danbury, Connecticut, while house hunting this past weekend. The incident occurred on Sunday afternoon when a group of six men intentionally rear-ended the couple’s Lamborghini sports car before forcibly abducting them.

The assailants, all residents of Florida, used baseball bats to beat the couple, restrained them with duct tape, and covered the male victim’s eyes. The group then split, with some driving off in the Lamborghini and others fleeing with the victims in a van.

According to Sgt. Steven Castrovinci, “It seems like they were struck with a bat.” He described the male victim as “pretty bruised, pretty swollen,” with injuries resulting from repeated bat strikes.

A witness to the incident alerted law enforcement and pursued the van until it crashed. Police were able to apprehend four of the suspects at the crash site and rescue the kidnapped couple. The remaining two suspects were arrested later.

The victims were transported to the hospital and are reported to be recovering from their injuries, which are not considered life-threatening.

The six suspects—Angel Borrero, 23; Reynaldo Diaz, 22; Anthony Pena, 23; Josue Romero, 26; Ricardo Estrada, 21; and Michael Rivas, 18—face charges including first-degree assault, first-degree kidnapping, and reckless endangerment. The motive behind the attack remains unclear, and no known connection between the victims and suspects has been established.
