Residents of Bhaggan Trace, Chase Village, where Aliyah Kissoon lived up until a month ago, say crime is out of hand after she was kidnapped on March 14.

Kissoon's boyfriend of Mokka, Maraval, told police he last communicated with her around 8.14 pm on March 14, when she said she was going to purchase food.

He said he later received a call from her phone but there was a male voice on the other end. "We have your girlfriend," the person said before hanging up.
