Share this @internewscast.com
Police have raided a property in north-west Sydney they believe is a “makeshift stronghold” that was used by the kidnappers of Chris Baghsarian, but the Sydney grandfather is still missing.
A week after the 85-year-old was taken in an apparent case of mistaken identity, NSW Police said they had “located a crime scene in Dural“.

On a recent evening, strike force detectives executed a search warrant at a property on Wildthorn Avenue around 7 p.m., according to NSW Police. This development comes amidst the ongoing investigation into the kidnapping case involving Chris Baghsarian.

While police have yet to confirm the discovery of Baghsarian or any arrests made, they have assured the public that they will provide further details during a media briefing scheduled for 10 a.m. today. This briefing is expected to shed more light on the progress of the investigation.

The crime scene in Dural saw the presence of detectives from the Robbery and Serious Crime Squad, underscoring the seriousness of the case. Their involvement is part of a broader effort to resolve the troubling incident that occurred earlier this year.

Chris Baghsarian was abducted from his home in North Ryde shortly after 5 a.m. on Friday, February 13. In a startling revelation, police have stated that Baghsarian was not the intended victim; he was mistakenly taken in a case of mistaken identity, adding a complex layer to the ongoing investigation.

Baghsarian was kidnapped from his home in North Ryde just after 5am on Friday, February 13.

“Early inquiries established that Chris Baghsarian was not the intended target of the kidnapping and had been taken in a case of mistaken identity,” police said.

Baghsarian’s family have pleaded for the elderly grandfather to be released by his captors and police have set up Strike Force Chobat.

“As police continue their intensive investigation to locate Mr Baghsarian and to identify and arrest those responsible for his kidnapping, they are appealing for further public assistance,” NSW Police said.

“Anyone who may have seen or heard anything relating to the kidnapping or witnessed any sort of suspicious activity in the Dural area since last Friday is urged to contact detectives.”
