Kidnapping people in the DR has been kept at bay by the efficiency of the Police. But El Caribe now reports that a new method is on the rise – the kidnapping of vehicles. El Caribe reports that murdered TV producer Miky Breton had also been a victim of the crime. The thieves who “kidnapped” his vehicle called to demand money to return the car in perfect condition. He was asked for RD$200,000 but in the end the vehicle was returned without a “ransom” payment. <\/p>\n
The Police say that although the method is not yet widespread, some people whose vehicles have been stolen have also been harassed by kidnappers requesting money for returning their vehicles. <\/p>\n
As reported in El Caribe, the Police Criminal Investigations Department follows the same procedure used to locate a person when locating a vehicle. El Caribe recalls that several months ago, Police Chief Rafael Guillermo Guzman Fermin showed the press three members of a gang that operated the extortion procedure from San Francisco de Macoris jail. The police have been able to trace several vehicle kidnappers by tracing their calls. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
