Zachary Boyd and Cece Prak (Columbus Police Dept.)

Three people in Ohio have been arrested after being accused of their own form of vigilante justice when they caught a 13-year-old boy trying to steal one of their cars, then allegedly abducted the child at gunpoint and held him for ransom. Zackary Boyd, 21, Cece Prak, 20, and a third juvenile male were arrested and charged with first-degree felony kidnapping to hold for ransom, court records reviewed by Law&Crime show.

The identity of the juvenile suspect has not been released.

According to court records obtained by the Columbus Dispatch, the suspects on Thursday, Jan. 25 allegedly spotted the 13-year-old boy breaking into a Kia automobile owned by Prak. The car was parked out in front of an apartment complex in the 4100 block of Tarkton Square North, which is about 10 miles from Columbus, Ohio. The suspects reportedly all lived in the building.

Boyd and the juvenile suspect reportedly went outside armed and pointed guns at the boy, who was already inside the car, and then allegedly assaulted him, police said.

The two were then reportedly joined by Prak, and the trio forced the 13-year-old into an apartment.

Prak at approximately 5:30 a.m. took the boy’s cellphone and called his father, Columbus CBS affiliate WBNS reported. She reportedly demanded that the father pay them $3,000, telling him that she caught his son inside her car and he had damaged her ignition switch. Prak allegedly threatened the father, saying that they would not release his boy until the ransom money was sent using the Cash App.
