British Millionaire Kidnapped in Ecuador Rescued by Police

The kidnappers of British millionaire Colin Armstrong in Ecuador were found to have police uniforms and a dossier about him. Armstrong, along with his partner, was kidnapped from his farm near Guayaquil but was released after British intelligence officers assisted Ecuadorian detectives in their investigation. Seven men are being held on suspicion of kidnapping, while two others are held on suspicion of extortion.
