Police are investigating following an alleged kidnapping in Sutton Coldfield yesterday afternoon (14 March).

A group of men was seen to be involved in a scuffle in Far Highfield at around 3.20 pm and made off in grey Skoda displaying the registration number DX18 VLE.

Officers have now spoken to a number of witnesses who saw a man being bundled into the car and driven off against his will.

There are no reports of any missing people to verify who this person might be, and our priority at the moment is to find the car and make sure that all of the people involved are okay.

If you’ve seen the car or know where it is, please contact police as soon as possible by calling 999.

Detective Sergeant Simon Hanlon, from the complex investigation team said: “We remain very concerned that someone may have been taken against their will and we are doing all we can to verify this and to find that person.

“We need to trace the car and I would urge absolutely anyone with information to come forward and make contact so we can establish what’s happened and more importantly that the people involved in the incident are safe.

“I also want to hear from anyone who saw the grey Skoda, in the area before or after the alleged kidnapping – this information is vital for officers trying to locate CCTV evidence and can help us piece together the timeline of events.”
