Lahaina woman charged in robbery, kidnapping of visiting couple

A 19-year-old Lahaina woman has been charged in connection with a robbery and kidnapping of two visitors.

Ashley Ramos turned herself in to police Wednesday. She was arrested and charged with first-degree robbery, unauthorized entry of a motor vehicle, unauthorized control of a propelled vehicle, first-degree terroristic threatening and kidnapping.

Her bail was set at $39,000.

Police said two visitors at Nakalele Point were approached by a man and woman clad in masks on Mar. 15. The man brandished firearms and robbed the couple.

Police said the suspects then took the visitors to several locations where they ordered them to purchase items.

Police released a surveillance video earlier this week of one of the suspects and asked for the public’s help in identifying the kidnappers.
