Three men have been arrested on suspicion of kidnap after witnesses reported seeing a man being bundled into the back of a car in Pudsey.
At 12.42am yesterday, police received calls about a disturbance in the street in the Claremont Grove, Lowtown and Manor House Street area, with reports of a male being forced into a car and driven away.

A police spokesperson added:
“Three men have been arrested on suspicion of kidnap in relation to initial incident and they remain in custody. Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances and to locate and safeguard the unidentified victim.”
