Recent news kidnappings throughout this past year have had police work tirelessly to arrest the London gang, responsible for terrorising Mohamed Saroya, after viewing his rolex watch from a Snapchat video.

The gang, led by Fortune Lawson, tricked Mohamed with the discussion of cannabis, before kidnapping and torturing the man until a ransom was provided. In this blog we will be discussing the events during this attack, and how we can work towards preventing these attacks in the future.

The Events:

There were eight other accomplices in this attack, submitting Mohamed to excruciating torture for over eight hours, including multiple stabbings and pouring a boiling water and sugar mix onto his abdomen and groin area. After the torturing was finished and the ransom of money and his rolex was provided, Mohamed was set free – but severely injured.

Mohamed had to enter the hospital numerous times to recover from his physical injuries, however he will never recover physiologically from the brutal torture he faced. He also was not the only victim of these men, with two more victims, Halim Vladi and Ledio Ibrahimi subjected to assault, kidnapping and abuse.

On his second attack, Lawson struck again, kidnapping Ledio, after inviting him out to smoke cannabis together. This time, Lawson submitted Ledio to brutal torture, waterboarding him and threatening him with guns and knives. Luckily, when calling his friend about the ransom, his friend called the police, communicating with hostage negotiators unknown to the gang.

Overall, with the help of the police, all men involved were found and sentenced between 6-30 years for their involvement in these crimes.

Security Prevention:

Prevention against kidnapping is highly challenging, since it can happen to anyone. Despite this however, there are still ways in which you can protect and prepare yourself in case of any attacks. Making sure to check your surroundings at all times, contacting the right services incase of any possible harm will ensure that the crime can be stopped as soon as possible.

Hiring specialist personnel for close residential protection, keeping surveillance on your surroundings and conducting perimeter checks is a great way to stay safe. Deploying highly trained security personnel can help to ensure your safety against any attack, and prevent them from happening in the future.

Security solutions can be tailored to your personal needs, no matter the potential threat. With the addition of panic alarms, and fast response times, you can ensure peace of mind, allowing you to focus on your daily activities.
