The family of a missing woman said they’re worried sick and are praying for her safe return.

Charlene Josephs was allegedly taken from her St Montague Village home in Lavender Hill last Wednesday, July 10, by a group of men who dragged her into a car and sped off.

A family member, who spoke to the Southern Mail on condition of anonymity, in fear of reprisal, believed the abduction was gang-related, but said Ms Josephs was not gang affiliated.

According to the family, her stepson is a gangster and was arrested for shooting three people, killing two and injuring one.

The person said their family now lives in fear but wants answers and want her to be released by her captives.
