Airway Heights Police confirm that the SUV belonging to a Cheney man who was kidnapped at gunpoint from Lucid pot shop has been found in Airway Heights.
Police and forensics teams are on the scene Tuesday afternoon conducting an investigation.
Airway Heights Police Chief Lee Bennett tells KHQ officers responded to a call around 1:15 p.m. of an abandoned vehicle that may have been in the area since 6 a.m. on Monday. Responding officers ran a check of the registration and found out it belonged to 46-year-old Cameron Smith, who was kidnapped Sunday afternoon.
The investigation is in its preliminary stages, so details are slim, but Chief Bennett says no one was found inside or around the vehicle. The area around the SUV has been closed off while forensics teams and detectives conduct a thorough investigation.
Chief Bennett is urging any witnesses in the area of 12th and Craig Road in Airway Heights who may have seen anything to call law enforcement immediately because any small detail may help the investigation.
On Tuesday afternoon, responding officers were canvassing the area to see if any cameras in the area may have picked up anything of interest. The investigation is ongoing.
Smith's wallet has also been recovered on Little Falls Rd on the Spokane Indian Reservation. A man found it yesterday, saw media coverage and called Cheney PD. The location of the wallet is an hour's drive from where the SUV was found.
