Appeal Issued Following Attempted Abduction In Craigavon

Police are appealing for information following an attempted abduction in Craigavon last weekend.

Three men attempted to grab another man and bundle him into the back of a blue van in the Meadowbrook area overnight on Saturday, 20 January.

The thugs tried to tie the victim with cable ties, however he was able to fight them off.

A PSNI spokesperson said: "Have you heard chat of who is responsible? Whoever they are, regardless of their motives, clearly has no respect for the rule of law and have only bully boy tactics as an option. These sorts of people should not be allowed to operate within our community.

"Call us on 101 with any information, or speak anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. The incident number is 264 of 21/01/18."
