The five year old from Oldham, Sahil Saheed

National Police on Tuesday arrested three people, two Pakistani men and a Romanian woman, in Constantí, Tarragona, in connection with the kidnapping of the five year old British child, Sahil Saheed, in Pakistan at the start of the month.

The child who comes from Oldham, near Manchester, is now reported to be found and well, but the police investigations continue open.

El País quotes police sources as saying the kidnappers were part of a group which had asked for as much as 90,000 € ransom.
Ransom phone calls were reportedly traced to Spain and some reports speak of a long-standing family debt.

The three arrested in Tarragona are now in the National Police cells awaiting an appearance in court.
