A 15-year-old female and an 18-year-old male were kidnapped on Friday morning around 7 am in the vicinity of Perth and Vienna road Grassy Park. The SAPS in Grassy Park are hard at work looking for more information surrounding this kidnapping.
According to reports from the Grassy Park police, the kidnappers were four, coloured male suspects who were travelling in a white VW Microbus.
Police revealed that the 18-year-old male was attempting to save the 15-year-old girl who was being dragged into the microbus by the kidnappers when he was also kidnapped.
The pair was then driven to Princess Vlei area, where they forced the male into the water and tried to drown him, however he managed to escape by swimming to safety and alerted his family who then alerted Grassy Park police.
