Kidnapped auto dealer Ashraf 'Alvin' Ali was abandoned by his abductors as they fled intense pursuit via ground and air in the wee hours of Good Friday morning 2-Apr-2010.
Ali, 30, was abducted in Chase village on Wednesday night along with his wife Anita Harrinanan, 22. She was released that night.
On Thursday night, in an operation involving several police agencies, attention was focused on an area of Laventille where it is believed Ali was being kept.
As police carried out their searches they received information that Ali had been taken from the area. Air support was called in and the helicopter spotted the vehicle heading south along the Uriah Butler Highway.
Attempting to evade pursuit and road blocks, the kidnappers switched vehicles but were unable to shake law enforcement. The vehicle was abandoned and the kidnappers fled.
Police recovered the vehicle and Ali was found a short distance away not long after.
