Group of men suspected of kidnapping business owners in Gauteng arrested

A well-coordinated operation by criminal intelligence and organised crime police has produced fruitful outcomes.

This is as a result of the arrest of a group of men suspected of belonging to a gang that harassed business owners in Gauteng. Thursday’s operation was conducted at an undisclosed site.

According to Brigadier Athlenda Mathe, the national police spokesperson, the accused are linked to more than sixteen incidents of kidnappings including ransom demands.

A special task squad launched a takedown operation and freed an abducted businessman earlier in January.

“At these premises, police also seized five high-performance powered vehicles including two BMWs, two Mercedes Benz sedans, one Toyota Urban Cruiser, 20 cellphones and 30 portable GPS tracking devices,” said Mathe.

General Fannie Masemola, national police commissioner, thanked the multidisciplinary team for the arrest.

He said that the police would continue to penetrate and catch the culprits responsible for a nationwide wave of kidnappings.

“Our message is clear: the SAPS [SA Police Service] is coming for all the criminals, either they make our lives easy by handing themselves in, or we fetch them ourselves,” said Masemola.

In his studies, energy efficiency expert Dr. David Glew has observed numerous instances of people leaving the central heating on in their vacant homes to keep their pets warm. He cautions that having the heating on for a dog might increase the annual gas bill in a big family house by £240. Dr. Glew estimates that leaving the lights on for a pet in a few rooms for six hours a day may cost £50 a year with contemporary spotlights or £12 a year with LED lightbulbs. While leaving a fan on would only cost £5, leaving the air conditioning on throughout the entire house may cost hundreds more per year. The majority of healthy pets have enough fur to keep them warm, according to veterinarians, so turning on the heat or air conditioning is typically unnecessary. This month at the Cheltenham Science Festival, Dr. Glew, director of energy efficiency and policy at Leeds Beckett University, brought up the subject in a discussion. There is no need to leave the heater on for pets, he said, but if owners feel they must, they might think about solely heating the room the dog enjoys or lowering the thermostat or radiator dial.
