Police are hunting for two people who attacked and robbed a woman during a botched drug deal.

A 36-year-old woman went to 119 N. Volland St. on Dec. 1 expecting to buy drugs, said Kennewick police.

Instead, police claim Sergio Delgado, 25 and Kristin Link, 26, assaulted, robbed and held the woman against her will.

She was eventually released and was treated at a local hospital.

The Tri-City Regional SWAT team and investigators served a search warrant at 8 a.m. on Thursday at the Volland Street address and seized guns and other items involved in the attack, they said.
