A 24-year-old man was rescued by police on Monday night, mere moments after he was kidnapped from his Gonzales, Belmont home.
Officers of the Port of Spain Task Force received a report of a kidnapping at around 8.30 pm on Temple Hill, Gonzales, and searched several tracks and alleys in the area.
On reaching Augustine Lane, the police saw five men in a yard.
A sixth man, the kidnap victim, was calling for help.
Police surrounded the men and questioned them.
The victim told police he was at his home when the men pulled him outside and kidnapped him.
The five men, aged 26, 30, 35, 39 and 48, are from different parts of Belmont.
They were arrested and taken to different police stations, where they are expected to be questioned today.
