The mother of a missing Johns Creek girl is wanted for allegedly kidnapping her daughter earlier this week.

Police have charged Laurn Williams, 32, with kidnapping and interstate interference with the custody of Taleiyah Brown, 12, according to the Johns Creek Police Department’s Facebook post.

Police on Wednesday said Taleiyah was last seen getting off the school bus at the Chelsea Ridge Apartments on Medlock Crossing Parkway and into a red, four-door vehicle, the agency wrote on its Facebook page.

Williams is a black female, 5’1’’ tall and weighs around 112 pounds. Brown is also a black female and was last seen wearing maroon sweat pants, a faded gray hoodie sweat shirt and her hair was wrapped in a brown and black scarf.

Residents are asked to call 911 if they see Williams and Brown.
