Suspects arrested for kidnapping

Concerted efforts by the provincial multi-disciplinary anti-kidnapping task team to curb incidents of kidnapping in the Western Cape and bring the perpetrators to book yielded positive results with the rescue of a kidnapping victim and arrest of 11 suspects over the weekend.

The suspects are expected to appear in the Blue Downs Magistrate Court today.

On 26 July 2023, a business robbery was perpetrated at a supermarket in Kuilsrivier, where the suspects took cigarettes, smoking equipment, substantial amount of cash and kidnapped a 34-year-old businessman.

Upon reporting of the crime, the multi-disciplinary team sprang into action and an investigation commenced.

All available leads were followed up which led to the arrest of ten suspects.

Further investigation into the matter led the multi-disciplinary team to an address in Tamrisk Street, Delft, where they found the hostage, rescued him and a suspect was subsequently arrested.

The efforts of the team comprising the Hawks investigators, Special Task Force members, Provincial Organised Crime detectives, hostage negotiators, Crime Intelligence and the City of Cape Town commended the management of SAPS in the Western Cape as the team’s efforts are gaining momentum in dealing with kidnappings. – SAnews.gov.za
