Scottsdale PD

Thanh Andrew Harlan

​A Scottsdale woman was kidnapped from her garage yesterday and driven to a bank, where she was told by her kidnapper to empty her account or he'd harm her and her mother. A bank teller tipped off the cops, who came and arrested their suspect -- 40-year-old Thanh Andrew Harlan.

Scottsdale Officer Dave Pubins tells New Times the woman said she didn't know who had kidnapped her, who  was wearing gloves and a ski mask.

It turns out the woman had dated Harlan for four years.

The woman later told police she was inside her garage about to get into her car when she was knocked over and had her keys taken.

She said she was then forced at gunpoint into the passenger seat of her car, as the unknown kidnapper drove her to the bank, giving her instructions on how to take the cash out of her account.

​We know it's hot out, but this is ridiculous.

The unidentified man in this picture below stripped down to a ball cap and black shoes about midnight on Friday night and went for a stroll down Scottsdale's picturesque Main Street, just west of Scottsdale Road.

Looks like he's in front of one of the art galleries on Main -- police listed the address of the incident as 7160 East Main Street, which is the address for the Gebert Contemporary Art Gallery.

The man's next act couldn't really be considered performance art, though.
