Armed robbery and kidnapping charges, Bellbird Park
Charges have been laid following an incident at Bellbird Park last night where a man was allegedly kidnapped at knifepoint in his own vehicle.
Police will allege at around 11pm the 36-year-old man attended an address on Redbank Plains Road to meet with another person.
Upon arrival he was allegedly confronted by two men who produced a knife and forced him to drive them to the White Rock Conservation Park in Redbank Plains.
The men then allegedly stole the victim’s mobile phone and shoes before driving away in his vehicle.
As the man started walking away from the area the car returned and the occupants again allegedly threatened him with a knife, demanding his wallet.
The men then allegedly forced the victim to walk in front of the car as it drove slowly behind him.
