Police in South Africa’s Free State have launched an intensive manhunt for three armed suspects accused of kidnapping an elderly couple, holding them captive for nearly two days, and stealing money from their bank accounts. The incident follows a violent house robbery in Kopanong, according to police reports. The suspects allegedly abduct the couple from their home, keep them restrained for approximately 48 hours, and then use their access to commit financial theft. Investigators say the group took money from the couple’s bank accounts during the ordeal. The police operation is focused on locating the three suspects and recovering any stolen funds, while also examining the circumstances of the abduction, the length of the captivity, and how the bank theft was carried out. Police are appealing for information that could assist the investigation and help lead to arrests. No further confirmed details about the suspects’ identities or the exact amounts stolen are included in the provided reports.
