After a Chinese businessman was reportedly kidnapped and a ransom demanded, police followed up on leads and arrested three suspects on Sunday 10 September. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to a statement released by Sergeant Noloyiso Rwexana from provincial police, the businessman was allegedly kidnapped in Monte Vista on Saturday 9 September. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A ransom of R1 million was demanded his release. The alleged kidnappers settled for R100\u2009000 after negotiations with the family which was subsequently paid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shortly after his release, police pounced on the suspects aged 31, 33 and 40 in Bloekombos (Kraaifontein). Some of the ransom money was recovered and a vehicle used in the incident seized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The police investigation continues and more arrests are imminent. The businessman was taken to hospital for medical examination. Trauma counselling was offered to him and the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
