The police in Trinidad and Tobago have launched a manhunt after a Jamaican businessman was kidnapped on Sunday by gunmen dressed in police clothing.
He has been identified as Yohan Chin.
The police in Trinidad have detained one of Mr. Chin's business partners in connection with the incident after he reported the kidnapping.
According to media reports in Trinidad, the man reportedly told police that Mr. Chin called him on Sunday morning saying that men armed with firearms and wearing police uniforms had kidnapped him.
He said Mr. Chin told him the kidnappers wanted money, and he would call back with instructions.
The man said Mr. Chin instructed him to go to his house and move his Porche Panamera car to another location for safe keeping.
He was later told to put together US$6 million through the sale of two cars and a piece of land.
The man said he was also told to get a further $400,000 and not involve the police.
The business partner said he went to Mr. Chin's house and discovered that it had been ransacked.
He said since Sunday he had received several calls from the businessman requesting various amounts of money.
The business partner said Mr. Chin did not indicate to him that the money was for ransom payment.
