Background
The kidnapped girls were released on November 21 in a mountainous area of Manta.
The kidnapping of two youths that occurred four days earlier in the Los Gavilanes neighborhood, a peripheral sector located in the southwest of Manta, is related to a gang affair.
The two women, who are Cosmetology students, were outside a beauty treatment center when they were intercepted by subjects.
The incident occurred when the two women left that place, where they were receiving beauty treatment classes.
After that, a white vehicle was burned on the San Mateo-Santa Marianita road, rural area of Manta, about seven kilometers from where the kidnapping occurred.
At noon on Wednesday 15, in Manta, police personnel will offer more details on the capture of the six suspects. (I)
