Minden, NV…On December 14, 2016 Douglas County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to the call of a kidnapping and armed robbery that reportedly occurred in the 1500 block of Gilman Avenue in Gardnerville. An adult male victim reported he had been kidnapped and robbed and showed Deputies the location of the crime.

Subsequent investigation found that the male adult victim had been violently attacked in a home on Gilman Avenue by Stacy Conti-Salway and Francisco “Frankie” Perez. The suspects beat the victim and held him at gunpoint and during the ordeal drove the victim to his bank and forced him to remove an undisclosed sum of cash. At some point following the robbery they released the victim.

On the afternoon of December 15, 2016 DCSO Investigators located Conti-Salway and arrested her in the parking lot of the Greater Nevada Credit Union. Conti-Salway age 35 was booked into the Douglas County Jail on charges of First Degree Kidnapping, Armed Robbery, Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Burglary, False Imprisonment, Coercion, and Fraudulent Use of a Credit Card. Her bail has been set at $282,520.

Perez, age 28 is a fugitive and a warrant has been issued for his arrest for the same charges as Conti-Salway. Perez has a lengthy criminal record and is believed to be armed with a firearm. He should be considered armed and dangerous. Perez is believed to be in the Gardnerville or Yerington areas.
