Kidnappers Trade Victim for an Xbox 360 [Crime]

A man recently kidnapped his employee-who happens to be his son-in-law-because he thought the man stole $245 worth of rings. He assaulted the younger man before finally setting him free in exchange for a neighbor’s Xbox 360 .

Joshua Seal and a co-worker, Bradley Marshall, captured Allen Begley by telling him they needed his help to go a saw. They took the younger man into a room, locked the door, and proceeded to provide him a beating:

Begley told his kidnappers that he didn’t have the cash, before being forced to call family and friends to search out someone who could stump up the money. Begley got through to his mother in law, Linda Begley. She also spoke with Joshua Seal who told her that he had already given Allen a black eye and would hurt him more if he didn’t get the cash.

Linda Begley managed to search out a neighbour, who offered up his Xbox 360 in return for the release of the captive.

Everyone involved met up in a convenience store automobile parking space and Begley was traded for the Xbox 360. Afterward, cops were contacted and Seal and Marshall were arrested. The lads are being charged with Especially Aggravated Kidnapping. [ Tricities via Wired UK ]
