“Following extensive investigation, the SAPS’ kidnapping team joined by members from crime intelligence, Gauteng hostage and negotiation team, Germiston Hawks, Sedibeng search and rescue, SAPS Lenasia and SAPS Evaton operationalised information they obtained on the location of the suspects in Sebokeng.
“A search of the identified property led the team to find the victim [businessman] in one of the rooms. The body of an unidentified African male was also found at this premises. A female suspect was subsequently arrested at the scene.”
She said police recovered two cellphones from the scene which will form part of investigations.
“More arrests are expected,” said Van Wyk.
“Communities are urged to immediately report to their nearest police station or call the SAPS Crime Stop hotline number 08600 10111 if any of their relatives or friends fall victim to kidnappers.”
