RAF kidnap duo ‘part of larger gang’

-

THE two men who tried to kidnap an RAF serviceman outside his base were part of a larger team, police now believe.

Detectives say they are looking for more suspects beyond two Middle Eastern men who tried to pull the man inside their peoplecarr­ier. The victim had been jogging near RAF Marham, Norfolk, where Tornados used to bomb IS targets are based.

Detective Sergeant Paul Durham said: ‘While the victim only witnessed two attackers, there may have been more in the vehicle and given the nature of the attack, it is likely they were part of a larger team.’

A new witness also suggested the attackers may have staked out the area last Sunday, after reporting he was ‘nearly run off the road’ by a Ford Galaxy.
