Four men have been arrested on suspicion of kidnap and the possession of a firearm after a vehicle failed to stop in a West London street. The incident occurred yesterday (Thursday, July 13) in Swift Road, Hanworth, near Feltham, when the occupants of the vehicle were observed entering a house. Concerns were raised as Metropolitan Police officers received information suggesting that the individuals may be armed.
