Thanks for posting this. I saw someone claim they were kidnapped under similar circumstances earlier in the weekend while they assaulted him and forced him to pull out cash from atms. But im shocked that local news is barely covering this

Edit: Looks like the police finally confirmed at least 1 kidnapping

Yeah it looks like it’s finally being covered now. It was concerning me that as of yesterday afternoon there had been barely a single mention of the fact that multiple people were kidnapped over a 3 day stretch and robbed of their entire checking account balances at gunpoint and there was not even a police PSA warning about it
