The SAPS Provincial Organised Crime and Anti-Gang Unit are seeking the assistance of the public in tracing a 74-year-old businessman, Ebrahim Moosa, who was kidnapped outside his workplace on Cuyler Street in Kruisrivier, this morning, February 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police spokesperson, Captain Sandra Janse van Rensburg, stated that according to the information, it is alleged that at approximately 10:00, Moosa stopped at his workplace on Cuyler Street in Kruisrivier, where it is further alleged that another vehicle followed him onto the premises and blocked him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThree suspects got out of the vehicle and forced the victim into a double cab LDV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe suspects drove off in an unknown direction,\u201d she reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe motive for the kidnapping is unclear at this stage; however, a police investigation is underway,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police are now appealing to anyone who can assist in tracing Moosa to contact Colonel Alvira van Staaden at 082 319 8424, Crime Stop at 08600 10111, or the nearest police station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
