on Friday in Bellville.
‘’His arrest emanates from an incident where a 20-year-old
victim was allegedly kidnapped in Strand during March 2023 where a ransom was
demanded for his release. A ransom was allegedly paid by the family of the victim
to the amount of R150 000-00,’’ said Lieutenant Colonel Siyabulela Vukubi.
‘’The investigation team followed all the leads until
Friday, 01 December 2023 when
information was received about the whereabouts of a possible suspect in
Bellville. The team pounced on the suspect and arrested him,’’ he added.
Vukubi added that further investigation revealed that the
suspect is also wanted on a case of Extortion and Intimidation that occurred in
Strandfontein during October 2023.
