Two children kidnapped in Gloucester

A British couple reported to the police that their twins have been
missing for two days, since they allowed them to go fishing.
The 8-year-old boys left home at about 9 am on Friday, saying that they
will go on a short trip to the Avon River. The parents noticed their
disappearance at the nightfall, but it was too late. They announced the
police and went in search of their small ones. After a few hours they
found on the east bank of the river a shoe that belonged to one of the
kids and three strange traces. A witness declared that he saw a man
with long black hair, who had about 1.80 m, talking to the twins in the
area were the crime happened. This could be a clue in solving the
mysterious case.
A spokesman for the police in Gloucester said last night ‘We don’t
believe that the twins were kidnapped for reward as they didn’t have
any expensive clothes or money on them. They probably were taken by
a member of a network of traffickers. We hope that with the
information provided by the witness we’ll catch the responsible for this
crime as soon as possible’.
