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.
