After luring him | Armed gang kidnaps young man in Rif Dimashq and demands ransoms

An armed gang kidnapped a guy after luring him to Al-Tanin area in Bada town in Al-Qalmon countryside on March 17.

The young man hails from Saidaniya city in Rif Dimashq, while members of the gang contacted his family and demanded ransoms to release the young man, where his fate remains unknown.

Regime-held areas have been witnessing a case of security chaos and kidnaps for ransoms recently.

Yesterday, a kidnap gang released a doctor, after receiving a ransom which paid by his family. The doctor was kidnapped by unidentified gunmen few days ago, on the road between Da’il city and Ibta’ town in the middle countryside of Daraa, and the kidnappers demanded a ransom of 50 thousand USD to release the doctor.

On March 7, members of an armed gang intercepted a man and his wife while they were on a motorbike heading towards Saidaniya city in Rif Dimashq, and stole more than 1,000,000 Syrian Liras from the man and stole the jewelry and cellular phones of the wife.
