Three men kidnapped the driver of a lorry and stole £360,000 worth of computer equipment from his vehicle while it was parked at a service station.

The 34-year-old Czech driver was asleep in his cab of his lorry, which was parked in the Welcome Break services car-park at junction 8A of the M40 near Thame.

He was woken by three masked men who forced him to drive to an industrial estate in Lancashire where he escaped and raised the alarm. Police only released details of the incident, which happened at 5.30am last Thursday, today.

Anyone with information is asked to call the police on 08458 505505.
