Update 20 November 2008 Lausanne, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - A 17-year-old Swiss employee in Crissier was kidnapped at knifepoint as he left work Tuesday, early in the evening. Employees noted the license number and called police, and a largescale manhunt was quickly underway. Lausanne newspaper 24 Heures Wednesday reported that the youth was lifted in front of Media Markt, where he works, and today’s paper says at least one of the men who kidnapped him was a fellow employee; police say they are still trying to establish the facts.

The young man managed to escape the vehicle he was taken in, which had been driven several kilometres in the area. Shortly afterwards police stopped it and arrested two men and a woman, one Swedish and the other two Swiss. They are now behind bars and police are trying to see what, if any connection, the three had with the young man, who was not injured.
