In­ves­ti­ga­tions are con­tin­u­ing in­to the ab­duc­tion of a 37-year-old Lebanese man who was robbed and beat­en on Sun­day, be­fore be­ing re­leased by his ab­duc­tors in San­ta Cruz a short while lat­er.

Po­lice said the vic­tim, who lives in Aranguez, was walk­ing south along the Aranguez Main Road, near the Aranguez Plaza, when a gold Nis­san Ti­i­da stopped along­side him at 9.30 am on March 9.

The vic­tim recog­nised one of the sus­pects and stopped to speak with him, when two oth­er men came out of the ve­hi­cle and pushed him on­to the back seat.
