CUMBERLAND COUNTY, Pa.– A man is facing charges after allegedly kidnapping a seven-year-old girl.

Kelvin Mojica-Reyes, 25, is facing kidnapping for ransom, burglary, unlawful restraint of minor, criminal trespass, and simple assault, among other related charges for his role in the incident.

On August 22 around 4:45 p.m., police were dispatched to an apartment in the 300 block of North Fayette Street in Shippensburg for a report of a domestic incident, with a man reportedly attacking a woman.

Upon arrival, police spoke with a witness who said that Mojica-Reyes took an adult woman and a seven-year-old child, forcing them to get into a vehicle.

Police were able to identify the subjects, and learned that Mojica-Reyes had just been served with a Protection From Abuse Order on August 21.

An amber alert was activated for the victims.

According to the criminal complaint, Mojica-Reyes took the victims to an unknown location in Adams County where they stopped for gasoline. It was there that Mojica-Reyes allegedly told the victims they could leave, and they were located by police in Shippensburg.

During his arraignment on the morning of August 23, Mojica-Reyes’ bail was denied, and he was committed to Cumberland County Prison.
