Two men have been arrested for abducting two teenage girls at gunpoint, drugging, and raping them in a small Oregon town.

The crime took place in the town of Redmond when the two teens' car wouldn't start and they were approached by men more than twice their age who offered to help them fix their car and said they could sit inside their car to keep warm, according to Oregon Live.

Once they got inside the men's car, a stolen Toyota 4-Runner, they pulled out guns and kidnapped them, taking them to a house they did not know. The girls also say they were drugged by 50-year-old James Borchers and 32-year-old Joseph Cheek, who have since been arrested and charged with first-degree rape and first-degree kidnapping.

After waking up in a home they did not know in Oregon's Christmas Valley, the girls escaped and called police to report their ordeal around 4:30 in the afternoon.

The suspects were arrested by an Oregon state trooper in a stolen Chevy Tahoe later that day.
