SENTENCED: Attempted Kidnapping Suspect

On 10/27/24, a Hillsborough resident was walking near Woodstock Rd. & Glendale Dr. when she was approached by 18-year-old Royhil Lakhan. Lakhan exited his vehicle holding what appeared to be a replica firearm and made several sexually suggestive hand gestures, prompting the victim to flee and call 911.

HPD Inspectors quickly began investigating and learned Lakhan had committed similar crimes in San Mateo and Burlingame. He was ultimately located and arrested by Belmont PD. Lakhan pled No Contest to two counts of attempted kidnapping.

Today, he was sentenced to 1 year in county jail and 2 years of supervised probation.

Thank you to our law enforcement partners and to the community for continuing to report suspicious behavior.
