A 21-year-old man, Evert Luna, has been taken into custody by Glynn County police following accusations of attempting to kidnap two 12-year-old girls on Thanksgiving.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Glynn County Police Department revealed on Friday the arrest of Luna, who is alleged to have tried to abduct two young girls on November 27.

Authorities responded to an emergency call near Burnett Road and New Jesup Highway. The call reported that Luna had approached the girls and attempted to forcibly take them by grabbing their arms.
