Authorities reported that a man was attacked and abducted by four masked individuals who forced him into a Hyundai hatchback. This alarming incident set off a swift response by law enforcement.
In response to the kidnapping, a secretive operation, named Strike Force Martinook, was launched. The mission was clear: locate and rescue the victim with urgency.
The breakthrough came at around 10:30 a.m. today when detectives from the strike force arrived at a property in Dural. There, they successfully located the missing 53-year-old man, bringing relief to those concerned for his safety.
Fortunately, the man was found in a stable condition. He was promptly evaluated by NSW Ambulance paramedics and then transported to a hospital for further care.
During the operation, authorities also apprehended a 16-year-old male at the Dural residence. The youth was subsequently taken to Castle Hill Police Station for questioning.
Inquiries are ongoing and investigations under Strike Force Martinook continue.
No additional details have been released at this time.
