A post about the kidnapping reads: “Saw this vehicle 20 minutes ago driving past me on Wilde Amandel Avenue towards Robert Broom Drive. White elderly male driver. Very aggressive with kid in the back of the car.”

The white Merc believed to be involved.

The alleged kidnapper is driving either a white C180 or C200 Mercedes-Benz with a registration plate starting with the letters RCP.
