These two clowns have been arrested by the Mexican police for allegedly abducting two teenage girls from a baptism party where they working as entertainers.
Olga Naomi, 14, and Kelly Tamara, 16, were reportedly kidnapped from a baptism party in the Iztapalapa district in the Mexican capital of Mexico City last Saturday.
The two girls went missing from the baptism party on Saturday 28th September and the victims’ families suspected the clowns had abducted them when they recognised the girls’ voices in the background in a live video one of the clowns reportedly posted on Facebook.
A manhunt was launched and the girls were later found unharmed at a bus stop, allegedly with the two clowns, in Mexico City.
The two clowns, named in reports as Roberto Carlos Fuentes Hernandez and Juan Hernandez Gonzalez, no ages given, were arrested.
Police suspect they abducted the girls from the party and drove in Fuentes Hernandez’s car to the city of Ciudad Serdan in the state of Puebla.
He then allegedly sold his car for cash, before the four travelled to the state of Veracruz by bus where they stayed until Tuesday before returning to Mexico City, according to reports.
The four were found at the TAPO bus station in the capital and the two men have been arrested on suspicion of child abduction.
Local authorities are investigating whether the victims suffered any type of sexual assault or violence. It is unclear if the clowns have been charged.
