The Arizona Republic reported yesterday that an American couple from Tucson, ages 38 and 40, were kidnapped by several armed gunmen last week in Nogales, Mexico.
The pair was abducted by several armed men last Wednesday, April 24. They were bound and held in a house in southern Nogales as their abductors attempted to get $15,000 from relatives in Tucson.
The situation ended the following day when investigators from the Sonora Attorney General’s office located and freed them.
They were interviewed to provide evidence for the prosecution of the kidnappers before they were taken to the international border to return to the United States.
