““On the other hand, common-law kidnapping contemplates, in addition to unlawful restraint, a carrying away of the person detained. State v. Harrison, 145 N.C. 408 , 59 S.E. 867 (1907), quotes Bishop’s definition of kidnapping as ‘false imprisonment aggravated by conveying the imprisoned person to some other place.’ See also State v. Lowry, supra. Blackstone and the early English authorities held that a carrying away to another country was necessary to constitute kidnapping. The asportation requirement has now been relaxed, however, so that any carrying away is sufficient. The distance the victim is carried is immaterial. State v. Lowry, supra.” State v. Ingland, supra, at 51.”
