Kidnappers abduct, release Windsor Forest businessman

Apr 10, 2016 News

A Windsor Forest, West Coast Demerara businessman has told police a bizarre story of being abducted at his home, before being released by his captors after his abductors were told that they had picked up “the wrong man.”
The businessman, who runs an auto dealership and exports prawns, has told police that he was at his home around 10.00 hrs yesterday when an individual known as ‘Quarters’ came to his residence and called out to him.
But when he let the man into his yard, two other men reportedly also entered and forced him into a white Toyota Premio. Kaieteur News was told that the businessman enquired from ‘Quarters’ why the men were abducting him, but the men ordered their victim to be silent.
They then drove to the West Ruimveldt ‘Back Road’, where they were joined by the occupants of another vehicle. According to reports, the men who had abducted the businessman wound down their car windows so that they could see their captive.
They reportedly then asked the occupants of the other car if the businessman was “the coolie man.’ The abductors were then informed that they had picked up “the wrong man.” The businessman was subsequently released. He then contacted the police.
Police have since searched two locations for ‘Quarters’ and his accomplice, and are also trying to locate the car.
They are also checking Closed Circuit television (CCTV) footage in a bid to identify all of the individuals. The Demerara Harbour Bridge is equipped with CCTV cameras, with a direct feed to CID Headquarters, Eve Leary.
