Police accused of kidnapping, torture and robbery are looking for these two men

DULUTH, Ga. – Two fraudsters are on the run, accused of beating and torturing a man in his own home. The incident occurred on North Berkeley Lake Road NW in Duluth.

Gwinnett County Police say Stephen Carlos Valenzuela and Jian Sun left the victim in a brutal beating.

“It was zipped, torn,” said Cpl. Juan Madiedo of the Gwinnett County Police Department. “These two guys should be considered dangerous.”

Police say that on July 29, a man knocked on the door of the house. The homeowner replied. “He opens the door, as usual,” Madiedo said.

Police tell FOX 5 the victim knew the man. “He recognized who it was,” Madiedo said.

Police say the man was Jian Sun. They say another man, Valenzuela, forced his way in. The police report shows that one of the men pointed a gun at the homeowner.

“He was punched in the face and another unknown perpetrator entered his house,” Madiedo said. “They tortured him, paralyzed him, beat him with a belt and also started choking him.”

Police say the attackers forced the victim into his own car and drove him to a car repair shop on Laventure Drive in Chamblee. Investigators say the attackers put a bag over the victim’s head and beat her again until she lost consciousness. They left him tied up there and drove back to his house.

“They searched his house, took several valuable items and returned to the car repair shop three hours later,” Madiedo said. “Ultimately, the suspect wanted money from the victim.”

Madiedo said the intruders eventually released the victim, “expecting the victim to provide them with a large sum of money.”

According to the police report, the victim claims Sun and Valenzuela worked at TD Auto Shop. Both men face a number of charges, including home invasion, armed robbery, aggravated assault and kidnapping. If you have any information about this crime, please call 911 or Crime Stoppers.
