Two men have been arrested in connection with the kidnapping of a KwaZulu-Natal businessman.

The man was abducted from his business premises in Reservoir Hills, Durban on Friday.

His wife sounded the alarm when he failed to arrive home by 10.30 p.m., police spokesman Lt. Col. Nqobile Gwala said.

“When she phoned him she felt he was in trouble. Suddenly the phone was taken from her by a stranger who demanded a ransom of 1 million rand for [he would] be released,” Gwala added.

Later, officers were informed that he had managed to escape.

He found his way to the police station at Taylors Halt.

The man told them he was being held captive in a house in KwaDindi.

Police then arrested two suspected kidnappers, ages 27 and 32, and confiscated two firearms and ammunition, Gwala said.

It is alleged that they stole money from company premises and used the businessman’s credit card to withdraw cash while he was detained, Gwala added.

They are scheduled to appear in Pinetown Magistrates Court on Tuesday for unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition, kidnapping and extortion.
