Arrested for trying to con his parents out of €30,000

young man from Murcia has been arrested for trying to con his parents out of €30,000 euros in ransom money by pretending to have been kidnapped. It seems that the man was detained after police traced a call he had made to his parents to inform them of the time and place they were to leave the money, and to let them know that the kidnappers had instructed him to collect it personally. When questioned, he admitted that he had wanted the cash to move out of the family home and to another city.
