Pharr police are investigating the daylight, armed kidnapping of a 46-year-old Mexican man who is an inspector at a border logistics facility.
In a news release, Pharr police said officers were called to the scene of the kidnapping just after 8 a.m. Tuesday at Mass Logistics, which is located at 9601 International Dr.
Jose Santiago Perez-Barragan, a Mexican national, was forced into a white F-250 pick-up, according to the release.
