First picture of car used in kidnap of young person in Milton Keynes

Officers are asking anyone who recognises the car, which is possibly a Ford, to call them.

The kidnap happened on Tuesday but police only tonight released the details.

Between 4pm and 4.30pm on Tuesday (January 19), a 19-year-old man was walking along Woolmans in Fullers Slade when he was approached by a man who told him to get into a car that was parked nearby.

Inside the car were another two men and the car drove away with the victim inside. Whilst in the car, the three offenders demanded money and punched him a number of times to the head.

At around 4.30pm the car stopped in Condor Close, Eaglestone and the victim got out of the car. The offenders then drove off in the direction of Golden Drive.

The victim sustained minor injuries and did not require hospital treatment.

The offenders are described as three black men and the car depicted is a white Volkswagen Tiguan or T-Roc.

Investigating officer Detective Constable Shannon Smith, based at Milton Keynes police station, said: “This incident has understandably left the victim feeling shaken and I am keen to hear from anyone who knows anything about this incident.

“We are following up on a number of leads as part of our investigation and believe that this is an isolated. I hope that the public may be able to assist our enquiries further with footage of this white Volkswagen as it travelled between Fullers Slade and Eaglestone from 4pm to 4.30pm on Tuesday, particularly if you were on the A5 at these times.
