Abducted Hoofddorp man found injured in Delft

A 56-year-old man from Hoofddorp, whose been missing since being abducted in Cruquius last week, was found injured in a residential neighborhood of Delft during the early hours of Wednesday morning. He had been kicked out of a car by his abductors, the police said.

The man has been reunited with his family.

The victim was abducted in Cruquius, Noord-Holland last week Thursday. Six men were arrested in Gouda a short time after the abduction, but there was no trace of the victim.

The police previously said they believe this was a case of mistaken identity, and that the Hoofddorp man was not the abductors actual target.

The six suspects, three Rotterdam residents aged 22, 22 and 30, a 31-year-old man from Zwijndrecht, a 33-year-old man from Dordrecht and a 30-year-old man with no known home address, were remanded into pre-trial custody for two weeks on Monday.

As the victim was only let go by his abductors on Wednesday, it seems obvious that more suspects are at large.
