A woman kidnapped while heading to the gym sparked a Gauteng police operation that led to arrests and the rescue of victims.
A kidnapping syndicate was nabbed in Parktown, Gauteng, and is due in court soon.
Police said the arrests follow the kidnapping of a 47-year-old woman who was snatched while on her way to the gym in Edenvale on June 17, 2026.
Police spokesperson Colonel Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi said: "The following day, the victim's husband received a ransom demand of R2 million for the release of the victim."
Following an intelligence-driven operation, two vehicles suspected of being involved in the kidnapping of the victim were identified and placed under surveillance.
