Man Kidnapped And Assaulted In Dunmurry
A man, aged in his 30s, has been arrested in connection with a kidnapping in Dunmurry on Saturday, 14 January.
It was reported just after 12pm that a man was forced into the back of a blue Citroen Berlingo van by two men in the Upper Dunmurry Lane area before it was driven away from the Michael Ferguson roundabout.
Police have said that they believe the kidnapped man, aged in his 30s, was driven around in the van for two to three hours and at one point, he was taken to a nearby property where he was assaulted, sustaining a number of injuries, which are not believed to be life-threatening at this stage.
Making an appeal for information, Detective Sergeant McCartan said: "This was a terrifying ordeal for the victim and as our enquiries progress, we are keen to speak to anyone who was in the Upper Dunmurry Lane, Colin, Poleglass or Twinbrook area of Dunmurry yesterday between 12pm and 4pm and saw anything which could assist us.
"We would also like to hear from anyone who may have any relevant dashcam, CCTV or other video footage. The number to call is 101, quoting reference 709 of 14/1/23."
