Man kidnapped during carjacking outside Gwinnett bar found safe
A 21-year-old man was found safe Monday morning, more than 24 hours after he was seen being forced into his car at gunpoint outside a Gwinnett County bar and driving away.
Neil Frasdilla was confronted by a group of men in the parking lot of the Luxor karaoke bar on Pleasant Hill Road just before 1 a.m. Sunday, a witness told police.
“A witness stated the two suspects pointed a handgun at the victim and forced him to drive them in the victim’s white Acura TSX,” a Gwinnett County police spokesman said in a news release. “They were last seen driving toward Pleasant Hill Road.”
Police searched for the car and Frasdilla through the night and into the next day. Police found him at his home Monday morning “safe an unharmed,” Cpl. Michelle Pihera said.
He told investigators that the three men took all of his belongings.
“After several hours, they dropped him off somewhere along Ga. 316,” Pihera said in a news release. “As the suspect started walking, he found his vehicle parked a short distance away. As part of this criminal investigation, the vehicle will be processed for evidence.”
The lead detective said that the victim has been located safe. Once more information comes along, we will update. https://t.co/a2iFMCv6cO

Detectives are still working to sort through video evidence Monday.
