This is not heard of too often. But a La Horquetta man outsmarted his captors and ran away. But before he escaped, he snatched a suspect’s gun and ran for his life. Even turning up at the police station with the gun.
Investigators said said the man arrived at the Arouca Police Station around 11 am on Sunday carrying a pistol and reported that he had been kidnapped from his La Horquetta home following a card game with men known to him.
The victim told the officers that he was taken to a forested area in Bertie Hill, Arouca, where he managed to seize a firearm belonging to one of his captors before escaping.
Officers of the Arouca Police Station Charge Room and the North Central Division Task Force later visited the area and found one suspect who was identified by the victim as one of his captors. The suspect, in his twenties, was arrested and is being questioned. The victim was taken for treatment.
