Quincy Child Kidnapping Suspect From Brockton Arrested

BROCKTON, MA — A man wanted for a pair of alleged kidnapping in Brockton and Quincy has been taken into custody.

The FBI's Boston office announced Tuesday that Diego Pires has been captured by the Southeastern Mass. Gang Task Force. A reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to Piers' arrest was offered, but will not be paid out.

On March 22, Pires and three other associates were indicted in U.S. District Court in Boston. Pires was charged with kidnapping and aiding and abetting. He is wanted for his alleged involvement in the kidnapping of one adult and two minors in Brockton and Quincy, according to authorities.

According to an affidavit obtained by the Enterprise, the victim was pulling up to his Marina Bay home with his two children when he was taken from his vehicle by two masked men and placed into a car with Sedrick Oliveira of Stoughton. Authorities say Oliveira, Pires, Malik Bangura of Taunton, and Yesenia Diaz of Brockton drove the victim to Brockton and made him call his drug associates and girlfriend to get between $50,000-$100,000 in exchange for the safe return of him and his two kids. Failure to do so would result in the victim's death, Oliveira said, according to the affidavit.

In the victim's car, the suspects pulled out marijuana and stacks of cash before leaving the SUV in an alley with the two kids in it, according to the affidavit.
