A woman was arrested for allegedly faking her own abduction and for demanding a ransom money from her businessman husband,who owns businesses in Phoenix, Durban.
After hostage negotiations, police made their way to Pietermaritzburg.
They found the woman at a Bed and Breakfast booked under a false name.
Police managed to break into the room and found the woman laying on the bed in a relaxed position.
It is alleged the woman was found at a Bed and Breakfast in Pietermaritzburg with all her jewellery, which she claimed was taken by the kidnappers inside her handbag.
According to the incident report, an amount of R2 million was initially demanded for her safe release, which was later reduced to R400 000.
She was allegedly gambling at a casino.
The husband allegedly told police that this was not the first time his wife had been kidnapped.
In May 2021, he had paid an amount of R30 000, and his wife was dropped of at SAPS Durban Central, and the matter was not reported to police.
The woman has been charged with perjury.
