Overview
- Chris Baghsarian, 85, was taken from his North Ryde home about 5am Friday after intruders forced entry, with at least three people involved.
- CCTV shows two men, one in high-vis, arriving in a dark Toyota SUV and pushing him into the vehicle, which was later found burnt out in Turramurra.
- Detectives have reviewed a video circulated in criminal networks that shows the victim bound and injured, which the squad commander called distressing and unhelpful.
- Investigators say they are "a million per cent" certain Baghsarian was not the intended target and state they believe he is still alive.
- No ransom has reached his family as police plead for his safe drop-off and urge tips to Crime Stoppers, stressing he needs daily medication.
