The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) on Thursday announced the arrest of three Chinese for kidnapping and serious illegal detention in Parañaque City.
According to the NBI, a complainant filed a complaint that his friend was being unlawfully detained and coerced into working by the three foreigners.
The victim was also being threatened with death if he tried to escape.
Following this, agents conducted a rescue operation on August 8, leading to the arrest of the three subjects. They also recovered the handcuff used on the victim.
Aside from this, authorities discovered live computers.
However, initial inspection showed that there was no indication of crypto currency-related or investment scam activities.
The NBI said it will apply for a warrant to search and examine computer data in order to subject the computers to digital forensics.
Meanwhile, the arrested Chinese nationals are under custody of the NBI Cybercrime Division. — Joahna Lei Casilao/RSJ, GMA Integrated News
