"The swift police action ensured not only that the victim was unharmed but also that the demanded payment was not made, highlighting the effectiveness of their response to the situation."
"The suspects allegedly surveilled the shop manager, tracking their movements and obtaining their home address, which they used to intimidate the manager into complying with their demands."
A computer glitch in a Spanish betting shop caused duplicate winning bets, leading to the kidnapping of the shop manager for €50,000 ransom. The manager was rescued unharmed within 90 minutes. One kidnapper was a security guard at the shop. The kidnappers posed as intermediaries for disgruntled customers, demanding cash from the company. They tracked the manager's movements and sent intimidating messages. Police arrested the suspects at a fast food restaurant during the ransom handover, ensuring the victim's safety and preventing the payment.
