An incident out of a movie unfolded on Thursday night in Limassol as four persons attempted to kidnap a woman by tying and gagging her. But their plans were spoiled by a citizen who noticed what was happening and intervened.
According to police, it was ten minutes after ten o'clock yesterday evening when the authorities were informed of the incident which occurred in an area in Kato Polemidia. Members of the Limassol CID rushed to the spot where they located the 34-year-old Sri Lankan woman.
As she claimed, she received a phone call from a female compatriot, who asked her to meet under the pretext that she was going to buy creams from her. When she arrived at the place where they had made an appointment the woman was not alone. There were three other compatriots, a man and two women, who then tied her up with a rope, gagged her and forcibly put her in the car with the intention of kidnapping her.
However, fortunately for her, the incident was noticed by a citizen who managed to prevent the kidnapping and inform the police.
The 34-year-old woman was taken to hospital where she was given first aid and discharged. The other four were taken to the Limassol CID offices where interrogators claimed that they carried out the above act in order to take the 34-year-old to the police in Larnaca as she was a wanted person.
The complainant was wanted by the Larnaca CID for extorting money with false representations. Specifically it appears how the four arrested for her abduction had given money in order to arrange for their relatives to come to Cyprus.
The four foreigners were taken into custody and are expected to be brought before the court today. While at the same time the 34-year-old woman was also handcuffed in connection with the case she was wanted.
