One day af­ter kid­nap vic­tims Ryan Singh and Keer­an Latch­man es­caped from their cap­tors in a forest­ed part of San Pe­dro Road, Va­len­cia, res­i­dents are con­cerned that the rur­al com­mu­ni­ty is be­ing used as a haven for crim­i­nals.

Singh, 18 and Latch­man, 21, were re­port­ed­ly con­front­ed by at­tack­ers on Mon­day morn­ing while de­liv­er­ing scaf­fold­ing equip­ment when they were ab­duct­ed.

A ran­som of $1.2 mil­lion was de­mand­ed for the re­lease of both men.
