CARACAS, Venezuela -- Four unidentified men disguised as police officers kidnapped the mother of Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Ugueth Urbina in his native Venezuela, police said Thursday.

The men took Maura Villareal from a house owned by the Detroit Tigers pitcher in a Caracas suburb on Wednesday, said Joel Rengifo, the director of the country's anti-kidnapping police force.

The men have not contacted family members, he said.


The Tigers said Urbina had left the club to go to Venezuela, and the team is working with major league baseball and its Venezuelan contacts to assist the pitcher. AP NEWS
