Belgians’ kidnapped children found unharmed after overnight abduction
In KNOKKE ZOUTE a 6 year old boy and his 3 year old sister were recovered unharmed in a telephone booth near Ostend after being taken from their villa by four masked men. Police tied the family’s Mercedes and a gray Volkswagen Beetle to the crime and questioned four Italian suspects. The father Pierre Bonnet said no ransom was demanded. He and police described the attackers as French speaking with Italian accents. The children's rescue followed a nationwide hunt along the coast. A separate Paris report noted a French industrialist’s granddaughter found safe after a Thursday kidnapping and a $375,000 payoff.
