A US $10,000 ran­som has been de­mand­ed for a Ch­agua­nas man who was snatched on Sat­ur­day night.

Ac­cord­ing to po­lice, Al­bert George Navar­ro Ar­cia, 30, went with a teenag­er to sell cheese in the Wa­ter­loo, Cara­pichaima area in a blue Nis­san B13.

While at the meet­ing spot, a group of peo­ple ap­proached them and took Ar­cia in­to an­oth­er ve­hi­cle near­by and drove off.

The teenag­er ran off and made his way to the Ch­agua­nas Po­lice Sta­tion, where he re­port­ed the in­ci­dent. Some­time lat­er, the vic­tim’s sis­ter re­ceived a What­sApp mes­sage de­mand­ing US $10,000 for his re­turn.

The Freeport Po­lice Sta­tion and the An­ti-Kid­nap­ping Unit are con­tin­u­ing in­ves­ti­ga­tions.
