THEIR luck ran out during the execution of their plan for the day.
One thug has died, and police apprehended nine others following a failed kidnapping attempt.
On Tuesday, 26 November, 10 tsotsis had their luck turn on them after cops managed to foil their kidnapping plans in Kirkwood.
The police were also able to seize three firearms, and a vehicle used during the commission of the crime.
One of the suspects was shot dead during a shoot-out with the police.
Police spokeswoman Lieutenant-Colonel Amanda van Wyk said according to the preliminary report, a team comprising of members from the SAPS’ anti-kidnapping unit, crime intelligence, Eastern Cape highway patrol, Local Criminal Record Centre (LCRC), SAPS Kirkwood, Eastern Cape Traffic, and various private security companies operationalised information on an attempt to kidnap a businessman based in Gqeberha.
She said the syndicate was successfully intercepted when one suspect attempted to evade arrest.
