A man kept 9 adolescents kidnapped for almost 20 days in Delta Amacuro, with the alleged purpose of illegally transferring them to Trinidad and Tobago to force them to engage in prostitution.
The subject was identified as JR Núñez Barrios, 39 years old, and nicknamed El Bisoco. He had a criminal record and a firm requirement for the cause of human trafficking in the Criminal Judicial Circuit of Delta Amacuro. This was reported by the officers in charge of the investigation, Commissioner Jackson London, commander of Polidelta, and José Galindo, director of the Criminal Investigation Service (SIP).
The minors were held for six days in a house in the La Florida community. From there they managed to escape and took refuge in the modules of the Manamo boardwalk, adjacent to the Las Guas Guas sector.
However, their captor found them there, and under threats moved them once more to another house in the Los Cedros sector. They stayed in that place for another six days, without receiving food or water.
One night that the kidnapper arrived at the house under the influence of alcohol, the teenagers managed to escape once more through a window.
Three of the young women took refuge in the house of a relative of another of the kidnapped women, identified as Letsy Márquez, 13 years old. SIP officials attended the scene and began the investigation.
Through intelligence work, the officers determined the location of the man and detained him at the Los Cedros home. He was transferred to the Polidelta headquarters and the case passed into the hands of the Fifth Prosecutor of the Public Ministry of that entity.
Commissioner London pointed out, in statements to the media Cain A Réthat the fact demonstrates the existence of connections between Venezuela and Trinidad, managed by binational networks dedicated to human trafficking.
