The Orange County Sheriff's Department needs help finding a kidnapped 61-year-old despite apprehending the people allegedly responsible. 

The alleged kidnapping happened in the early morning hours of March 15 in the victim's driveway. Investigators said that a woman living near the area of Hunter Lane and Madison Avenue in Midway City called deputies after she witnessed suspects assaulting and kidnapping 61-year-old Tony Lam shortly after he arrived home.

Deputies said that a masked man confronted Lam before attacking him and throwing him into a car. Detectives identified two suspects responsible for the kidnapping, 49-year-old Nhan Chin Nguyen and 53-year-old Phi Hung Nguyen. The pair have refused to help authorities locate Lam.
