A mother got her son back from kidnappers after she reportedly paid a RM100,000 ransom on Wednesday.
According to a report by theSun, the 10-year-old boy was allegedly abducted by three men after the boy’s nanny dropped him off at a Chinese temple for music classes in Taman Jernih, Bukit Mertajam at 3pm.
The three suspects, all using face masks, reportedly approached the car they were in and blocked the victim from entering the premises.
They then allegedly grabbed the boy and forced him into a waiting car. Before speeding off, they tossed a handphone into the nanny’s car.
The nanny lodged a police report shortly after.
A source told the daily that the kidnappers later contacted the boy’s mother and demanded for a ransom of RM100,000.
“We believe the mother paid the ransom as the boy was found about 12am today at a Chinese temple in Alma, near here,” the source was quoted by theSun as saying, adding that the boy’s father, a Datuk, was away on a business trip.
Meanwhile, Penang Criminal Investigation Department chief SAC Datuk Razarudin Husain @ Abdul Rasid told the daily that they have yet to receive a police report from the parent regarding the case.
