Woman abducted in Blue Downs reunited with family

Western Cape police confirmed that Anichka Penev has been reunited with her family after being kidnapped last week

The Ukrainian woman, who was found in Khayelitsha, yesterday was dragged from her Audi R8 after gunmen in two cars blocked her vehicle as she drove along Ipswich Road in Blue Downs

In a video gone viral, the kidnappers can be seen forcing Penev into one of the vehicles after grabbing her when she tried to jump out of the passenger side of her car to escape.

She fought back, was eventually overpowered, bundled into one of the cars and driven off.

Police said she was alone at the time.

The police’s Joseph Swartbooi said the circumstances surrounding the kidnapping were under investigation.
