Abducted man still at large

Police said that at 11 pm on Sunday, Anthony and his cousin Kevin Mahabir were walking along Lime Fruit Road in Freeport when a vehicle pulled up alongside them.

Two men jumped out and snatched Anthony.

Reports are that Anthony was thrown into the vehicle but Mahabir was not harmed. Relatives reported the matter to the Freeport police.

Anthony was last seen wearing a white t-shirt and grey long pants. Yesterday, police officers revisited family members and questioned several individuals.

Anthony lived with his family at Commonwealth Drive off Nelson Road in Freeport. On the day he was abducted, Anthony and his cousin went to seek employment and were returning home. Anthony’s mother Kamlawtie Siew, 52, a mother of 14, pleaded with her son’s abductors not to harm him. Siew is expected to undergo an operation at month’s end and said Anthony is the one to cares for her.

A close female relative yesterday said that calls to Anthony’s phone are being directed to voice mail. “We don’t know what to think. It is so strange why someone would want to take him, he is not the type of person to be in any trouble.

We are still shocked this is happening,” the relative said.
