Kidnapped Pretoria businessman rescued, 7 arrested
Seven suspects have been arrested in connection with the kidnapping of a Pretoria businessman from his office in Hercules, north of the city.
Police spokesperson Robert Netshiunda says the businessman was abducted on Saturday.
Police nabbed the first suspect on Tuesday.
“The suspect was found in possession of bank cards and a driver’s licence which belonged to another victim who was reported kidnapped in Gugulethu, Western Cape in 2021,” says Netshiunda.
“Further investigations led the police to Crystal Park in Ekurhuleni where the victim was rescued and three suspects who were found safeguarding the victim were subsequently arrested. One firearm and a toy gun were found in the premises.”
Netshiunda says three more suspects were arrested in Tembisa.
The seven suspects will appear in the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court on Friday.
