Daylight abduction of woman in Mong Kok street thought to be triad-related
Woman was whisked off busy Mong Kok street and released only five hours later
Police are hunting for four abductors who on Wednesday plucked a female private tutor off a busy Mong Kok street in broad daylight and whisked her away in a delivery van.
The 24 year-old victim, who police believe is the girlfriend of a triad member, was released in Yau Ma Tei on Wednesday night, after being kept captive for more than five hours.
No weapon was produced or used to threaten her, and she was neither tied up nor assaulted during the incident, she told police.
The woman's ordeal began after she completed a private tutoring session in an apartment on Waterloo Road, Mong Kok, at about 4.30pm.
She told police she was grabbed by two men of South Asian origin outside Tsan Yung Mansion at 70 Waterloo Road. They bundled her into a dark grey delivery van, covering her mouth with a towel to keep her from screaming for help, she said.
There were two Chinese people - a man and woman - in the vehicle, and the four abductors communicated in Cantonese, police said.
