Liverpool winger Luis Diaz's parents have reportedly been kidnapped in La Guajira, Colombia. Two armed men seized them while they were at a petrol station in their hometown of Barrancas.
A massive search involving the police and army has been launched to find them. While Cilenis Marulanda, Diaz's mother, was found safe and taken into police protection, his father, Luis Manuel Diaz, remains missing.
The incident is believed to have occurred as Diaz's parents were traveling to the Los Olivos neighborhood in their van. Some reports mention an exchange of gunfire, though it's not officially confirmed. The local authorities have initiated a "Padlock Plan" to seal off the town and aid in the search efforts.
Diala Wilches, the governor of La Guajira, has strongly condemned the kidnapping and instructed the authorities to work on the immediate rescue. The army is also involved in supporting the search operation.
