In the Leningrad region, the kidnapper chained a friend in the forest and demanded 15 million

In the Vsevolozhsky district of Leningrad region caught a 47-year-old man suspected of kidnapping a 22-year-old friend. The criminal took the guy into the woods in handcuffs and asked for his freedom 15 million rubles. This was reported in the press service of the SU IC in the Leningrad region.

The incident occurred in the first half of November, in the period from 6 to 8, in the forest area of the Kuyvozovsky rural settlement. The attacker threatened a friend with an object similar to a Makarov pistol, and snapped the handcuffs on him. Depriving the victim of the opportunity to fight back, he forcibly dragged him into the thicket. There, under threat of reprisal, he demanded to give him 15 million rubles in exchange for release.

However, the prisoner managed to secretly call a relative and tell about his difficult condition. The woman immediately raised the alarm and went to the police. Soon the kidnapper was found and caught.

At the moment, a petition was sent to the court to detain the defendant in custody. Investigators are continuing their investigation.
