Police are investigating a report of a possible kidnapping near Gloucester.
A member of the public reported seeing a man being bundled into the boot of a car in Blakeney earlier this morning (Wednesday, 10 August).
Gloucestershire Constabulary wants to speak to anyone who may have seen anything suspicious on the A48 close to the Manchester House Bed and Breakfast at around 9.15am.
The force says they’ve received a report from a passing motorist, who claims to have seen a man and a woman putting a man in a t-shirt into the boot of a dark-coloured car. The car is believed to be a five-door hatchback.
A spokesperson said: “Urgent enquiries have been ongoing this morning and, as the man has not yet been identified or found, detectives are now appealing to the public to try and establish what was taking place.
“Police are particularly keen to speak to the drivers of a white van and a white car which were believed to have also been passing at the time.
“Officers are also keen to hear from any other motorists who were travelling through Blakeney on the A48 this morning.”
