Two Men Have Been Sentenced To A Total Of Nearly 10 Years For Kidnap And Blackmail Offences.

On August 11, 2021, a 17-year-old boy was approached on a footbridge linking Fishponds Road and Valley Road, Northampton, by 19-year-old Aramis Sullivan, who asked him for cannabis.

When the boy said he couldn’t help and walked off, he heard Sullivan tell someone “There is a lad coming over, he has a good tracksuit on, it looks like he has a good amount of money”.

Another male then approached the boy and told him “You’re coming with me”, before taking him to a wooded area off Valley Road, where Sullivan, previously of Luton, was waiting.
