Gang responsible for kidnapping an estate agent in Colmenar arrested

Four members of a gang accused of kidnap, extortion, theft, threatening behaviour and belonging to a criminal organisation were arrested last week.

Their victim, an estate agent, was contacted by a gang member to visit a house with the pretext of wanting to rent a room. He was taken to an isolated farmhouse where another man, who claimed to be a hitman and head of the gang, tied him to a chair and put a bag over his head. The men demanded 50,000 euros and after obtaining the pin numbers for his bank cards, let him free.
