Six men in abortive kidnap adventure

Six Asian men who kidnapped two workers of the same nationality in Ajman to settle debt were seized within 24 hours after falling in a police snare.

The six had phoned a friend and told him the two must pay a Dh5,000 debt in return for their release, prompting the man to call the police.

Police agreed with the man to go to the assigned place and pay the money to the captors.“One captor came to the area…once he was paid, police got him….they later arrested the rest and freed the two,” 'Al Ittihad' newspaper said.
