The Israel Police Central Unit solved a four-day kidnapping incident, the Israel Police Spokesperson Unit revealed on Saturday.
The police opened an investigation on Tuesday after a man reported that his father had been kidnapped from somewhere near Rosh Ha'ayin. The investigation revealed that the abduction was criminally motivated, and the family soon received a demand for ransom worth hundreds of thousands of shekels.
The commander of the central police district assigned the case to the Central Unit which usually deals with severe crime in the center of Israel. The unit conducted an investigation in cooperation with other units within the Israel Police.
