“#Gang member kidnaps elderly man, forces him to pay for shopping spree<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n A California gang member with a rap sheet dating back 30 years allegedly kidnapp<\/a>ed an 82-year-old man from his home and forced him to shell out money for food, alcohol and clothes during an hourslong ordeal, local cops said.<\/p>\n

Sergio Maga\u00f1a Arechiga, 50, was burglarizing a Santa Ana home June 9 when the octogenarian resident walked in, apparently unaware, according to police.<\/p>\n

The victim told KTLA he was about to sit down for a Zoom meeting with fellow church members when the burglar attacked.<\/p>\n

Arechiga knocked the elderly man to the floor and pinned him down by placing his forearm on his neck, cops said. The suspect also threatened to kill the victim\u2019s wife if he didn\u2019t cooperate.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe told me he would not harm me, but if I didn\u2019t do what he told me to do, he would harm my family,\u201d the victim, who did not want to be identified, told KTLA.<\/p>\n

Arechiga then forced the victim into his own car, filled it with stolen items from the home and ordered the older man to withdraw money from an ATM and take him on a shopping spree lasting several hours, according to police.<\/p>\n

Video released by Santa Ana Police shows the two men inside a Warehouse Shoe Sale, where the victim pays for multiple clothing items while Arechiga, wearing a red bandana on his face, stands in wait.<\/p>\n

The victim used a type of card that would send alerts to his wife, leading family members to notify authorities, according to KTLA.<\/p>\n

He also managed to let a security guard know he was in danger.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he was far enough away from me, I whispered to the individual, \u2018I am being held up, call the police,\u2019\u201d the victim told the station. \u201cHe winked at me on the way out the door which to me said, he understood what I said.\u201d<\/p>\n

Police did respond to the store, but both men were gone by then, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n

The victim\u2019s son ultimately tracked his location through his phone, cops said.<\/p>\n

Arechiga had just gotten out of the car right before the victim\u2019s son arrived, according to cops.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf his son hadn\u2019t found him, who knows what would have happened,\u201d Cpt. Anthony Bertagna told the outlet. \u201cI mean, this is a violent felon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cops quickly identified Arechiga as a suspect and tracked him down three days later at a relative\u2019s home on a disturbance call, authorities said.<\/p>\n
