| Weird Phoenix Kidnapping |
| 2009-08-18 |
| Phoenix police have found two young children taken in an apparent kidnapping early Tuesday. Video from 12 News showed the children being held by Phoenix police. The children appeared to be fine. The children were dropped off at a house in south Phoenix. Early Tuesday, police say a group of armed men forcibly entered a home and took the children, a boy age 2 and a girl age 11-months. Police are still searching for the suspects. They are described as four black males. Police Sgt. Andy Hill said a witness heard the men yelling they were the police. Police believe the children were taken away in a white Honda or Toyota with dark, tinted windows. A Silverado pickup was also in the area parked in the alley near 27th Avenue and Indian School Road. Police do not think the mother of the children knew the suspects. |

| #3 This makes little sense. Phoenix organized crime is pretty well controlled solely by Mexican outfits. When a tight unit of blacks commit a crime in Phoenix, they are almost invariably from LA, there just for a single crime, then they leave. In past there have been several incidents, in which black gangs have arrived, done a major robbery of a gun or jewelry store, then vanished. Usually very well organized and efficient. My hunch is that they were planning to kidnap the children of some important figure, then use them as leverage for a major event. But they got the wrong kids. The FBI are going to be all over this one. Other details are that where they dropped the kids was almost directly South of where they were taken, so they probably got that far then realized their mistake, and put the kids out in a residential neighborhood before taking off. |

| #2 Simply a warning....stronger message to follow! Mex gang training session? Initiation right? All of the above? |
