Des Plaines police announced charges against two men in the kidnapping, beating and torturing of three car dealership employees during an armed robbery last month.
Two of the kidnapping victims owned the car dealership in the 600-block of E. Northwest Highway and the third victim was an employee, police said. The night of the kidnapping, the victims told police that several masked offenders entered the dealership armed with rifles and handguns, then robbed them of their belongings.
The three victims were driven to a different location where they were "beaten repeatedly, burned with a hot metal object and restrained throughout the evening," police said.
