5 assisting police investigation on child abduction posts

Five people have been contacted by the police here for posting unsubstantiated information about child abductions on the Internet and by SMS.

They are currently assisting the police in their investigations into a series of online postings about alleged child kidnap attempts in the heartland.

A police spokesman said on Monday that they have investigated seven such kidnap reports over the past two weeks, and so far there has been no evidence to suggest an actual kidnap attempt.

'It is established that none are related cases, and the police confirm that there has been no reported case where a child was actually abducted or kidnapped,' she said during a press conference held by the police to update the public.
