A kidnapper is on the loose who bundled his victim from his own vehicle into a van before a dramatic police chase across London where a 999 car was rammed.
The extraordinary incident happened yesterday just before 11.44am in Newham in broad daylight in the midst of traffic.
At first motorists believed it had been a simple collision, with social media chatter speculating two cars have crashed.
But in fact a kidnap squad of two vehicles - including a blue Citreon Berlingo van - stopped their target in the road and the terrified victim, 20, was dragged out.
He was bundled into the back of the van, which then sped off with him trapped inside.
Christopher Adam Scott was more than four times the legal drug-drive limit when police stopped him. A DRUG-driver who was four times the legal limit has appeared at court. Christopher Adam Snowball was pulled over by police after he was spotted driving erratically in Stanley in the early hours of May 16. Newton Aycliffe Magistrates Court heard that the 33-year-old passed a road side breath test but failed a road-side drug test and was subsequently arrested. Oriana Frame, prosecuting, said: Officers were on patrol at around 2am on Saturday, May 16, when they noticed a white Citreon Berlingo motor van with a defective tail light.
