1. Kambah Kidnap:
- A 47-year-old Kambah woman and a 29-year-old Queanbeyan man will appear in the ACT Magistrates Court tomorrow each charged with kidnap, forcible confinement and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. The woman will additionally face a charge of allegedly allowing a domestic dog to attack a person.
This follows an incident early this morning where police received information about a 30-year-old man allegedly being assaulted and held against his will by a group of people at a residence. Around 5.20am, SRS Tactical Response officers and Police Negotiators attended an address at Kambah, established a cordon and commenced negotiations with the occupants.
About 5.45am an alleged female offender was arrested after leaving the residence. The 30-year-old man was then released from the house suffering facial and other injuries from the incident.
A short time later, an alleged male offender surrendered to police peacefully and was taken into custody.
Investigations are continuing to locate three others who may have information about the incident.
A search of the house following this incident uncovered a suspicious item in a rear shed. Officers from ACT Policing’s Bomb Response Team attended and assessed the item. As a precautionary measure residents in the street were evacuated until the area was declared safe.
