A 40-year-old El So­cor­ro woman who was orig­i­nal­ly re­port­ed as hav­ing been ab­duct­ed is at home and in good health, a se­nior of­fi­cer in the Port of Spain Di­vi­sion con­firmed on Fri­day.

Po­lice said the in­ci­dent was orig­i­nal­ly re­port­ed as a kid­nap­ping by po­lice, but fur­ther en­quiries re­vealed that the cir­cum­stances be­hind the at­tack were dif­fer­ent than what was com­piled in the first po­lice re­port.

Ac­cord­ing to po­lice, the woman and a male rel­a­tive were dri­ven to an undis­closed lo­ca­tion on the Beetham Gar­dens at around 10.30 pm on Thurs­day, by one of the rel­a­tive’s co-work­ers.

No in­for­ma­tion was in­clud­ed as to why they were in the Beetham Gar­dens.

The re­port went on to state that a group of men ap­proached the car and pulled the woman and her rel­a­tive from the ve­hi­cle.

The rel­a­tive was beat­en, but es­caped the at­tack­ers and re­turned to the area with of­fi­cers of the Besson Street Po­lice Sta­tion, but could not find the woman.

How­ev­er, se­nior po­lice con­firmed the woman was at home and “rest­ing com­fort­ably.”

The of­fi­cer, who did not di­vulge any fur­ther in­for­ma­tion, said the cir­cum­stances be­hind the in­ci­dent were “very dif­fer­ent” than what was orig­i­nal­ly be­lieved to have hap­pened, but main­tained that it was not a false re­port, as the in­for­ma­tion tak­en by po­lice may have been done in­ac­cu­rate­ly.
