Couple robbed, kidnapped at Berkeley lookout

BERKELEY — Police say a couple sitting in a car at a Berkeley hillside lookout point taking in the view of the Bay Francisco Bay were robbed and kidnapped.

University of California, Berkeley police are looking for three men who tried to rob a 26-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man about 2 a.m. Thursday.

No one was injured.

Police said the men, armed with at least two guns and two baseball bats, went to the couple's car, parked at the viewpoint behind the UC Berkeley campus, and tried to rob them.

The couple said they had no cash so one man drove with them to an ATM.

The other men followed them in a red, four-door car. A full description of the car and the suspects was not available Friday.

The couple turned over the cash and men drove away.
