Two cousins abducted outside North West school

Two cousins aged 17 and 19 were kidnapped outside a primary school in Brits while on the way to their school in Hartbeeespoort on Wednesday morning, North West police have said.

Police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Amanda Funani said the cousins - Zahraa Mohammed and Bataviya Mohammed – were travelling from Bataviya's home to school in Hartbeespoort when they were attacked.

"The car they were driving in was bumped from the front by a maroon Audi A3, thus forcing it to stop," she said.

"Allegedly, two armed men came out of the Audi A3 and ordered the cousins to get into a white Volkswagen Polo GTI that was driving behind the Audi A3."

The suspects fled the scene.

Police requested anyone with information to contact the Brits station commander, Brigadier Ellen Emmanuel, on 082 447 7447.

This is a developing story.
