' Tesco shopper missing after being 'kidnapped' from store and bundled into car

COPS are hunting for a man who was 'kidnapped' from a Tesco store and bundled into the back of a car.

Lancashire Police are searching for the alleged victim, who was apparently taken from a Tesco store in Blackburn.


Officers said a burgundy Skoda was seen leaving the scene in Hill Street shortly after noon on Friday.

Three men, aged 24, 24, and 26, have been arrested on suspicion of kidnap, the force added.

A spokesman said officers want to trace the man pictured and appealed for him to get in touch so they "can ensure he is safe and well."

Police think he was taken away in the car before a second man ran into the store to seek help.

Det Supt Joanne McHugh said: "We continue to remain very concerned that someone may have been taken against their will and we are doing all we can to verify this and to find that person.

"We need to trace these two men and I would urge them to come forward and make contact so we can establish they are safe.

"I also want to hear from anyone who has seen the burgundy Skoda, in particular in the Gloucester Road and Burnley Road area of Blackburn on Friday afternoon."

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 quoting log 0545 of Friday, March 5th.
