***Initial news release, 5:40 p.m. Thursday, June 13, 2024***

On Wednesday, June 12, 2024, troopers responded to a report of kidnapping that had occurred several days prior from a residence located on Vermont Route 116 in the town of Starksboro. Investigation revealed on Saturday, June 8, Anthony Seagroves, 32, of Hinesburg, while armed with a baseball bat, ordered an adult household member into a vehicle, drove away and caused bodily injury to the person while restraining that individual. Seagroves was assisted by Katelynn Cannon, 28, of Essex, who also physically assaulted and attempted to cause serious bodily injury to the same person.

 

On Thursday, June 13, 2024, the Burlington Police Department attempted to take Seagroves into custody, and he fled in a gray Honda CR-V with Vermont registration CRW914, likely driven by Cannon. The whereabouts of Seagroves and Cannon are currently unknown. Anyone with information about this incident or the location of the offenders is asked not to approach them, and to contact the New Haven Barracks at 802-388-4919 or submit an anonymous tip at https://vsp.vermont.gov/tipsubmit.
