Police rescue kidnapping victim, arrest suspects
Klerksdorp Record, Stilfontein - The second kidnapping for ransom in as many weeks in the Stilfontein/Khuma area brought together a specialised team consisting of hostage negotiators, police officers, the air wing and private security firms working around the clock to bring the kidnappers to book.
The latest drama started in the early hours of Saturday May 4, when a 23-year-old man was kidnapped outside the Blue Moon nightclub by armed men driving a Nissan vehicle. His vehicle, a VW Polo was also stolen during the kidnapping. It didn’t take long for the kidnappers to make contact and they demanded ransom from the victim’s family or their loved one would be killed.
