Police said a 50-year-old woman kidnapped last month was rescued in Karenpark in Pretoria on Thursday.
Captain Tintswalo Sibeko said the woman was kidnapped in Ga-Rankuwa on March 31 2025.
“The victim’s son reported her missing and it was later discovered that funds were withdrawn from the victim’s bank account.
“The police investigations led to two suspects at a house in Karen Park where the victim was also kept.”
Sibeko said the woman was rescued and provided medical treatment before being united with her family.
“Police further recovered a white Polo vehicle, allegedly used in the kidnapping. Police investigations continue.”
She said an intelligence-driven operation led to the arrest of three suspects aged between 57 and 34 for kidnapping and robbery.
“The collaborative effort between the police from Akasia and Garankuwa including Crime Intelligence unit, Tshwane Flying Squad, Bank Forensic investigation and TMPD K9 resulted in the successful rescue of a 50-year-old woman.”
The three suspects will appear before the Ga-Rankuwa Magistrate court soon.
The Management of the police in Gauteng province commends the swift response of the members, which led to the successful rescue of the victim and the arrest of the suspects.
