CCTV footage hasd provided police with clues searching for an 85-year-old Sydney man who investigators say was abducted by mistake in a botched underworld kidnapping.<\/p>\n
Chris Baghsarian was alone in his North Ryde home when he was taken and bundled into a dark-coloured SUV on Friday morning.<\/p>\n
Police hold grave concerns for the grandfather, who needs daily medication, after they were called to the home by neighbours who heard a commotion about 5am.<\/p>\n
When they arrived at the home, police found signs of forced entry.<\/p>\n
Det Acting Supt Andrew Marks said Baghsarian had been in his bedroom when three men broke in.<\/p>\n
\u201cPolice consider that Mr Baghsarian was not the intended target … you have the wrong person,\u201d Marks said. Further details were due to be released at midday on Monday.<\/p>\n New vision, published by Nine News, shows a dark Toyota pulling into Northcott Street in North Ryde before Baghsarian was taken. A man in high-visibility clothing is seen emerging from the car, followed by an accomplice.<\/p>\n Moments later, they are seen pushing the elderly man across the landing as the car moves closer.<\/p>\n Police said a burnt-out vehicle matching the description of the SUV involved had been found nearby.<\/p>\n They would not confirm a Daily Telegraph report that a video had emerged showing Baghsarian tied up.<\/p>\n Baghsarian\u2019s family, who were not involved in any criminal activity, were concerned and shocked by his kidnapping, Marks said.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re quite surprised that this has happened, and what they want is the safe return of their father,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cPlease release Mr Baghsarian. Take him to a hospital. Take him to somewhere that\u2019s safe, and we\u2019ll do the rest.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s believed Baghsarian is a widower who has lived alone for almost four years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
