According to SAPS KZN Spokesperson Robert Ntshuinda said the seven victims were reportedly released at KwaDabeka a little later, however the woman, who recently received her Road Accident Fund (RAF) payout, was taken to an unknown location.
“The Provincial Tracking Team was activated and officers took no time to locate one of the two vehicles which were used in the kidnapping, and arrested three suspects.
Investigations led police to Phoenix where the victim, who is in her mid to late 30s, was found unharmed.
“Police are appealing to RAF beneficiaries not to disclose their payouts or brag about the money. The suspects attempted several transactions to no avail, however they managed to make purchases amounting to R30 000,” he said.
Netshiunda said the arrested suspects will appear in court soon. The search is on for more possible suspects.
