Detectives are looking to trace a group of men after reports of a possible kidnap in Kimberworth
At 1am on Thursday (16 March), a member of the public called police reporting concern for the safety of a man on Wortley Road. They had witnessed him being forced in to the back of a silver Citroen Berlingo van by three other men.
All the possible offenders are described as dark skinned with one of the four having a beard. The man we are concerned about was wearing just joggers and socks at the time he was put in the van.
At 3am, the suspects and the van returned, with two of them then getting in to a black BMW.
T/DCI Andy Knowles said: “An investigation is underway, and need your help in identifying the man involved and ensuring he is safe and well. I would ask anyone who has knowledge of this incident to contact us with information so we can carry out welfare checks as soon as possible.
“Meanwhile we are gathering witness reports from those in the area and treating it as an absolute priority to trace the van.”
