Men from Picayune kidnapped 2 people and took their car, police say
Biloxi police are looking for two men they believe abandoned two people on the side of a road after stealing their car, kidnapping them and taking their money.
Lt. Christopher De Back said in a press release police are looking for Colton James Delaughter , 26, and William Jason Stockstill , 23, both of Picayune, for their involvement Friday in the carjacking and kidnapping.
Warrants have been issued for their arrest.
De Back said the two people were carjacked in the 800 block of Beach Boulevard. They told police they were approached by two men armed with handguns as they were retrieving luggage from their car.
De Back said Delaughter and Stockstill forced the two into the car and drove them to Bay St. Louis, where they made them withdraw an undisclosed amount of money from ATMs. The two were left on the side of the road in Hancock County. No injuries were reported.
De Back said Delaughter and Stockstill took off in a white 2014 Chevrolet Cruze with Florida tag with the number 814RGC.
