A woman was reportedly abducted by a man in the peaceful area of Hove, just moments after he approached her for directions. The incident occurred in the wee hours of Monday morning, leaving the community shaken. Police have since taken swift action and arrested a 21-year-old man from Brighton in connection with the kidnapping.
According to authorities, the woman was at the intersection of Selborne Road and Church Road when the man forcefully pulled her into his vehicle around 2 am. He then drove the car a short distance along First Avenue before the woman was able to escape and call for help. The vehicle believed to be involved in the abduction was later seized the same evening.
In the early hours of this morning, the suspect was apprehended by Sussex Police on suspicion of kidnapping, stealing the car, and fleeing without payment. Fortunately, the woman was able to break free when the man drove along First Avenue. Superintendent Petra Lazar expressed, "We understand the concerns this incident has caused within the local community, and we want to assure you that our dedicated team has been tirelessly working on this case. As a result, we were able to make an arrest."
Lazar continued, "We extend our gratitude to those who have come forward and provided valuable information to the police. We also urge anyone else who may have information to please come forward. No detail is too small, and it could potentially be crucial to our ongoing investigation." The authorities are determined to bring justice to this terrifying incident and are counting on the support of the community.
