Police seek Ang-See group’s help on kidnap

Police anti-kidnapping agents have sought the help of the Citizens Action Against Crime (CAAC) led by Teresita Ang-See for the early recovery of a Chinese trader abducted in Teresa, Rizal last Sunday.

The Teresa police said representations have been made with Ang-See’s group because the family of kidnap victim Goung Wai Yep, alias Jess Fong, has been uncooperative with authorities.

Four heavily armed men snatched Fong at about 12:45 p.m. last Sunday in Barangay Bagumbayan, Teresa town.

Fong was driving his Mitsubishi Elf cargo truck when the armed men, aboard a gray Mitsubishi L-300 van with no license plate, blocked his path as he was about to enter their family-owned piggery farm.

Four hours later, a man, who identified himself as one Commander Cobra of the New People’s Army, called up Fong’s wife Lala and told her to prepare millions of pesos as ransom for her husband.

The other day, a Camp Crame source said there has been a breakthrough in the kidnapping case but refused to give details.

Officials of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group and the Intelligence Group, however, have remained mum about developments in the case. — Jaime Laude
