19 year-old Belizean Caught Behaving Suspiciously In Mexico
posted (April 30, 2014)

There is a very troubling report coming out of a Mexican newspaper today. Â The website for “Por Estoâ€￾, Quintana Roo claims that townspeople from Sabido, Quintana Roo captured a Belizean who was trying to kidnap two small children. The male is only being identified as 19 year old Ariel, and the paper says he tied to kidnap two 8 year old girls and smuggle them over to Belize. It happened on Monday afternoon in Sabidos, a small community which borders the Rio Hondo. Â 

Reports say that the girls had just come out of classes when they were approached by a 13 year female who reportedly works for Ariel. She allegedly promised to take them to a beautiful place where they would have everything they wanted if they went with her to the edge of the banks of the Rio Hondo. Â She got them to do it, and the newspaper reports that the kidnapping was only foiled when the girls’ parents went to pick them up at school and didn’t find them. Â They sounded the alarm and rounded up a search team.

Apparently, word got to the kidnappers who decided to release both victims who were found walking back to Sabidos approximately two hours after they had been kidnapped. Once the girls were safely back at home, an official report was made to Mexican authorities. But the story does not end there. The newspaper reports that yesterday afternoon the 13 year who lured the girls to the river bank, was once again seen at the school. She was identified by the victims and detained by authorities. With her assistance police were able to detain Ariel who is said to have family living in Sabidos.
