Venezuelan woman rescued after Caroni kidnapping

A 20-year-old Venezue­lan woman was res­cued fol­low­ing a re­port­ed kid­nap­ping near Kel­ly Vil­lage, Ca­roni, on Fri­day.

Po­lice said of­fi­cers re­spond­ed to a call around 1:00pm near Rain­bow Su­per­mar­ket. The 28-year-old in­for­mant point­ed to a ve­hi­cle leav­ing the scene, shout­ing, “They now take my broth­er and them.”

Of­fi­cers in­ter­cept­ed a sil­ver Nis­san Ti­i­da, reg­is­tra­tion PCL 1092. The oc­cu­pants fled, leav­ing the vic­tim be­hind. Dur­ing the pur­suit, one sus­pect al­leged­ly point­ed a dark ob­ject re­sem­bling a firearm at the of­fi­cers. One round of 9mm am­mu­ni­tion was dis­charged in the sus­pect’s di­rec­tion.

Both sus­pects ran in­to near­by bush­es. Po­lice lat­er de­tained a sus­pect and with the help of CDTF North of­fi­cers, ap­pre­hend­ed a sec­ond sus­pect. No firearm was re­cov­ered.

The res­cued woman, iden­ti­fied as a cashier at Rain­bow Su­per­mar­ket, was un­harmed.
