Horror as 85-year-old man is feared to have been mistakenly KIDNAPPED

An 85-year-old man is feared to have been accidentally kidnapped from his home.

www.dailymail.co.uk

"His family, who were not involved in any criminal activity, were concerned and shocked by his kidnapping, Det Supt Marks said.

'They're quite surprised that this has happened and what they want is the safe return of their father,' he said.

'Please release Mr Baghsarian. Take him to a hospital. Take him to somewhere that's safe, and we'll do the rest.'

Quite surprised? Seems a strange way of wording it. Hope poor Chris is okay
