The search for two suspects in the abduction and robbery of a Fredericksburg deliveryman ended in southeastern Virginia last night, Fredericksburg police said. The search for the victim continues.
Jermaine Montgomery, 34, and Marcey White, 36, were arrested shortly after 5:30 p.m. at Wal-Mart in Franklin, said Natatia L. Bledsoe, spokeswoman for the Fredericksburg Police Department.
No further identification of the suspects was provided.
Yong Hui Zhang disappeared sometime after 9:30 p.m. Thursday while making deliveries for his family's restaurant, China Express at 1500 Jefferson Davis Highway in Fredericksburg.
His family contacted police at 10:15 p.m. when he did not return from his last round of deliveries.
One of Zhang's deliveries was to a vacant apartment at 202 Charles St., police said. Police believe Zhang was ambushed and assaulted there, Bledsoe said.
Montgomery was recorded by a security camera Thursday night using Zhang's credit card at the Four Mile Fork Shell station in Spotsylvania County, police said.
Zhang and his bronze 2004 Nissan Sentra with Virginia license plates JPB-6401 are still missing.
Montgomery and White have been charged with abduction, conspiracy to commit abduction, carjacking, conspiracy to commit carjacking, credit-card theft, and conspiracy to commit credit-card theft, Fredericksburg police said.
"Locating the victim and his vehicle are our primary concern at this moment," Bledsoe said.
