Two Child Abduction Attempts Lead to Arrests

Two unrelated attempted child abduction incidents have led to arrests in Maine and Virginia. Firmino Figueira, 33, was arrested in Lewiston, Maine after allegedly trying to abduct a 3-year-old child, driving while intoxicated, and threatening responding officers; he faces charges including criminal restraint and operating under the influence. In Williamsburg, Virginia, Travis Andrew Bright, 46, from North Carolina, was arrested and charged with felony abduction and misdemeanor assault and battery for allegedly attempting to lure a 7-year-old from the pool area at Great Wolf Lodge. Surveillance video and witness statements helped identify Bright, who is being held as his legal case moves forward. Great Wolf Lodge has reiterated its commitment to guest safety and continues to cooperate with law enforcement. Both cases underscore prompt police action and ongoing investigations to protect children and the community.
