Moments later, the three are seen dragging a man into the van as he desperately tries to escape in Bradford, West Yorkshire.

‘I felt guilty as I had been at home at the time and thought I heard someone moaning and groaning – but I just thought it was an argument.
‘It wasn’t until I watched the footage again that I realized what had happened and immediately called the police.
‘If I hadn’t been at home and seen it back, no one would have known it happened – it’s very scary.’
West Yorkshire Police said: ‘Police are investigating a report of kidnapping after a man was injured on Westcroft Road, Bradford at around 11.10am on Wednesday 6 March.
“The victim suffered injuries to his jaw and ribs.
