Kidnapping victims were threatened with death

Two hotel workers who were kidnapped and robbed in the early morning hours of Monday, have reported that their attackers initially threatened to kill them, but later promised they would not do so once they got what they wanted.

This is according to a police report, which also indicated that the attack occurred around 12:45 am, while the two colleagues were sitting in a car on Pensioners Beach.

The kidnappers allegedly crept up from behind the victims’ car and held them at gunpoint, bound their hands and placed duct tape over their mouths.
