He was then placed in the back seat of his own car and taken to a property within a community in the region. According to police, the man remained imprisoned in two different locations used as captivity during the period in which he was in the suspects’ possession.
According to the victim’s report, during the time she was kidnapped, she was coerced into carrying out bank transactions. The release only took place on Tuesday morning (20).
After the complaint, the Civil Police began investigations and managed to identify the properties used in the crime. Three suspects, aged 19, 20 and 25, were located, arrested and recognized by the victim.
During the action, the police seized a weapon that had been used to threaten the engineer. Two of the detainees were already wanted by the courts and had outstanding arrest warrants.
