Man Dragged from Southsea Home and Thrown into Sea in Shocking Abduction
Police are hunting three suspects after a terrifying kidnapping in Southsea in the early hours of Sunday, 28th.
Violent Home Attack Ends with Victim Thrown into Sea
At around 3am, three men broke into a house on Beach Road and brutally assaulted a 59-year-old man. They demanded money before forcing him into a light-grey Peugeot 206.
The men drove the victim to a cash machine on St Catherine’s Street, where they tried to withdraw cash from his account but failed.
From there, the kidnappers took the man to the Long Curtain Road car park at Clarence Esplanade. In a chilling moment, they threw him into the sea. The victim suffered minor injuries but managed to escape serious harm.
