Police are hunting for witnesses after a troubling incident in Drayton on Friday evening, November 18.
Young Man Snatched Into Car Boot?
Between 5pm and 5.30pm, a dark five-door hatchback allegedly pulled onto the pavement of Penarth Avenue from Havant Road. Two teens, aged around 16-18, were near the spot when one suddenly grabbed one of the youths and shoved him into the car’s boot. The car then sped off heading north up Penarth Avenue.
Police Seek Other Teen for Clarity
Officers have yet to receive a report from the other youth involved and are keen to speak with him. They want to determine if this was a prank gone wrong or something more sinister. It’s believed many people were nearby at the time, so someone must have seen something.
