Kidnapped DIY Style

Spanish Plod have detained a woman who faked her own kidnapping to test whether her husband would pay ransom, after she sent him a photograph of herself with bound hands and feet.

The gadgy received the photo on his mobile phone from someone claiming to be one of the kidnappers along with a text message demanding a ransom of 20 000€ for her release.  They also warned against him going to the Feds, which he ignored.


El Dibble launched a search and spotted her car, which they followed to a shopping mall in the town of Gandia on the Mediterranean coast.  They said:

"The woman, who was travelling alone and was in perfect health, was the supposed victim of the kidnapping."

At first she told the Fuzz that she had been released that morning but later confessed to faking her abduction "to find out what her husband would be willing to do for her".  :o)

Unfortunately for her, the Coppers weren't amused and she could be facing gaol time.
