The victims rescued were businessman Richard Lu, and his daughter and son.

Three of the suspects are now in custody. They are said to be natives of the Cordillera region.

Brief details of the first kidnapping case here in years indicated that the businessman and children were leaving their house in La Trinidad town when they were taken at gunpoint by the kidnappers.
