Six suspects arrested for kidnapping and robbery on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast are set to appear in court on Thursday. They were linked to the abduction of a 39-year-old man from Uvongo, near Margate.
According to police, the victim was ambushed by an armed group outside his home on Sunday. The suspects forced him to transfer money from his bank account and later drove him to an ATM, demanding further transactions by Tuesday.
A tactical team from Port Shepstone and Margate arrested six individuals, including a woman believed to be the mastermind behind the crime. One suspect remains at large as police continue their investigation.
