China News Service, August 18. According to the WeChat public account of the Chinese Consulate General in Johannesburg, recently, a Chinese citizen running a factory in the Johannesburg area was kidnapped by several robbers at his workplace. Fortunately, he was arrested by the local police soon after. rescue.

This is the third kidnapping case involving Chinese nationals in the Joburg region this year.

  Combing about the incident and rescue process of kidnapping cases, we can draw two experiences: on the one hand, vehicle trackers and alarm equipment with positioning function can provide very valuable information for the police detection work and improve the detection rate.

On the other hand, some overseas Chinese factories do not have any video surveillance, and even if the police go to investigate, they will not be able to obtain useful information.

  The Consulate General in Johannesburg once again reminds the overseas Chinese in the consular area to strengthen the awareness of prevention and improve the level of security, and install monitoring, power grids, anti-theft doors, "one-key alarm" equipment at home and workplace as much as possible, and install trackers and other security equipment in vehicles. Turn on the shared location function on the mobile phone, carry the equipment with the alarm positioning function with you throughout the day, and do a good job in all aspects of air defense, material defense and technical defense.

  In case of kidnapping, be sure to keep calm. The victim's family should call the police as soon as possible and notify the embassy and consulate in South Korea and the Chinese police-civilian cooperation center, follow the police's advice, actively cooperate with the police investigation, provide evidence and clues, and assist the police to rescue the hostages as soon as possible and solve the case. fierce.
