Victim Kidnapped and Threatened Over Vehicle in Shocking April Attack

Victim Driven to Multiple Locations Amid Threats
The suspects then drove the victim to various locations, reportedly threatening him to hand over another vehicle he owned. Police have now released CCTV images of a man they believe holds key information. This individual is thought to have connections to south east London.
