NASSAU, Bahamas — There has been a surge in the number of child abductions in the capital city of Nassau, New Providence, in The Bahamas, with five abductions over four separate incidents occurring over the last three weeks.
The children are apparently being abducted off of the streets of Nassau with the only common thread appearing to be the abductors have all been identified as women and in two incidents two children were left by the City Dump after they were abducted and found by members of the public passing by.
The timeline of reported abductions over the past three weeks are as follows:
The first abduction was on Sunday, February 17, when a three-year-old boy was allegedly abducted by two women in a silver coloured vehicle while riding his bicycle in the area of South Beach Estates. The child was later dropped off the following day at a laundromat in the central area of New Providence with no apparent injuries.
