A GANG in Banbury kidnapped one man and assaulted two others.

Thames Valley Police said a 23-year-old man and a 26-year-old man were approached by a gang-of-four in Park Road at about 10.25pm on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old was forced into a nearby property and was assaulted, along with a 21-year-old woman already inside the home, where the gang demanded money from the pair.

The 26-year-old victim was forced into a white BMW and driven off, before the driver stopped the vehicle in Queens Road and fled the scene.

Police believe there were four suspects, who all had dark skin and were wearing dark coloured clothing, with their faces covered.

A blue Samsung mobile, black Samsung GT mobile, a Nokia 6280 mobile phone and £70 were stolen.

The victims suffered cuts and bruises but did not requires hospital treatment.
