WILMINGTON, Del. - An attempted break-in turned violent kidnappings has resulted in the arrest of two women and one man in Wilmington, authorities announced Monday.
Michael Pennacchiotti, 21, Shaun McCollum, 31. and Callie McCollum, 25, are charged with kidnapping and assault in connection to an incident on Bardell Drive last month.
Police say a 22-year-old man was forced into a vehicle after the three suspects tried to burglarize his home.
The victim told police he heard banging at his front and back door. When he checked the back door, police say the male suspect grabbed him and pushed him to the ground.
