She said a suspicious man was following her, and as he got closer he brandished a gun and walked her to a nearby tree where he proceeded to tie her up. Then the male left on foot.
The woman said she remained tied to the tree until she was found nearly two hours later. She was not injured, assaulted or robbed.
Police got the call around 9:30 a.m. when a man out on a walk came across the woman crying for help and saw her tied to the tree. A second person was also walking in the area and helped the man untie the woman.
A search was conducted by the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office, Pebble Beach Security and a CalFire Drone Team, but the suspect was not found.
Department officials said they believe this was an isolated incident, but the public is encouraged to call if anyone has additional information.
