A woman was kidnapped in Cleary Estate, Gqeberha, on Thursday, according to the SA Police Service (SAPS).

Police spokesperson Captain Sandra Janse van Rensburg said the incident was under investigation.

Her age was not immediately known.

“Gelvandale police confirmed that they were attending to a complaint of an alleged kidnapping,” Janse van Rensburg said.

“No further information is available and the investigation is ongoing.”

Janse van Rensburg did not disclose the woman’s name.

The Herald understands she is the daughter of a well-known club owner in Nelson Mandela Bay’s northern areas.

Police sources said she had been snatched from her boyfriend’s Cleary Estate home.

Attempts to contact the club for comment proved futile.

This is a developing story.
