\"Default<\/p>\n

Three Sacramento men have been convicted of kidnapping and robbing a Southern California businessman in Lancaster in 2023, a jury determined. <\/p>\n

Jerome Franklin Jr., Andrae Hawkins, and De’Andre Lamont King were found guilty of kidnapping, restraining, and threatening the victim at his workplace while demanding money and gold jewelry. <\/p>\n

The U.S. Attorney’s Office said the victim’s home was also invaded during the crime. He was later abandoned by the kidnappers and rescued. <\/p>\n

Franklin, Hawkins, and King could face life in prison and are scheduled to be sentenced in November. <\/p>\n

Two co-defendants, Shanjeet Brar and Peter Arafiles Jr., have pleaded guilty in connection with the crime. Arafiles is serving a 10-year prison sentence. <\/p>\n
