Teenagers kidnapped on highway

– police investigating

The police are currently following up on reports about an abduction during which Alliance for Change member Michael Carrington’s 14-year-old daughter, Marissa Carrington, and her friend, Lishanna Mootoo, 16, were abducted at Yarrowkabra Soesdyke/Linden Highway.
The disclosure was made yesterday by AFC’s Prime Ministerial candidate Sheila Holder.
Kaieteur News understands that the two girls were taken some time Tuesday evening. Yesterday Carrington said that his daughter was over at her friend’s home.
He said that Lishanna left to follow his daughter home and the two have not been seen since.
Carrington said that the parents started searching for the young girls, but to no avail. This newspaper was further told by Carrington that a report was made to the police, and they are currently working around the clock to locate the teens.
When asked about the family receiving a ransom call, Carrington said that they only received a text message.
“We’ve received a text message with certain information….but at this point I cannot divulge anything,” Carrington said.
Further Carrington said that he did not want to speculate that the incident has anything to do with the upcoming elections.
He said that he would not comment further on that aspect until evidence is before him. Carrington currently holds a position in the Executive Body of the Alliance for Change, and is the Region Four Councillor.
Efforts yesterday to contact Assistant Commissioner Seelall Persaud proved futile.
