MELBOURNE: Attempted kidnapping probe
Melbourne Crime Investigation Unit detectives are investigating an alleged attempted kidnapping which occurred in Melbourne last year.
Investigators have been told the victim, a 36-year-old woman, was contacted on November 4 by people purporting to be from Chinese immigration and police.
They told her her phone number had been used in local scams.
The victim was kept on the phone for a number of hours and provided numerous personal details before the call was concluded.
The next day a woman attended the victim’s address claiming to have a warrant for her arrest.
The victim and her friend confronted the woman and started filming the woman which caused her to leave.
Investigators have released an image of a woman they believe may assist with their enquiries.
