JURUPA VALLEY, Calif. (KTLA) -- A Jurupa Valley woman was found in Los Angeles on Saturday, a week after she was abducted by an acquaintance who has been arrested on suspicion of kidnapping, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department said.

Jennifer Martinez, 46, has been reunited with her family, the department said in a news release. Authorities did not provide information on the woman's condition or how she was found.

Her suspected kidnapper, 46-year-old Robert Lopez, was taken into custody and is expected to be booked on suspicion of kidnapping, burglary, spousal abuse and vandalism, the Sheriff's Department said.

Martinez was taken against her will from a home in the 3700 block of Eve Circle about 9:30 a.m. Jan. 25, authorities said.

Deputies from multiple units responded and searched extensively from the air and on the ground, also using bloodhounds in an attempt to track the victim down, the department said. But there was no sign of them.
