UK man fakes kidnap to party
A UK man faked kidnap so he could party longer
A UK man told his girlfriend he had been kidnapped, so he could stay out partying longer.
The ‘kidnapper’ even spoke to, and texted, the girlfriend saying the man would be released if a small debt was paid.
More than a dozen police members searched for the man using CCTV footage and mobile phone data, even arresting someone on suspicion of the crime.
The arrested man eventually confessed, saying it was a ruse to allow his friend to stay out longer.
The party animal was lucky not to be arrested, with police saying they preferred not to waste more public money dragging it through the courts
