Jamaica Crime News, Westmoreland: The Westmoreland police have now confirmed that five persons who are part of a very popular family and who were kidnapped by a group of armed men in the Withorne policing area on Wednesday morning , have now been released. The family is now being checked by a doctor and also questioned by the police.
The police also confirmed that the five persons, which includes four female and a male, were kidnapped from their home and several million dollars in random demanded for their release.
Reports are that between the hours of 3:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m., the five family members were asleep in bed at their home at a section of Galloway District known as Old Road.
Minutes later, three heavily armed men forced their way inside the house and held them hostage.
