Gunpoint kidnapping caught on camera in Bass Hill
Three kidnappers can be seen running toward a ute driver yelling, “don’t move” in footage of a shocking abduction in southwest Sydney on Tuesday.
CCTV cameras captured the armed kidnapping unfolding outside a home on Coraki Rd in Bass Hill about 10.30pm.
The unknown offenders, travelling in a sedan, are first seen coming to a halt on the road, in view of a CCTV camera.
Moments later, a ute crosses their path and pulls to a stop.
The offenders can then be seen running toward it, before a gunshot rings out and the ute driver is dragged back to the sedan, which then drives away.
The matter was referred to State Crime Command’s Robbery & Serious Crime Squad, and an investigation was immediately launched to safely recover the victim, NSW Police said.
Police confirmed that the 43-year-old man had been released by his captors about 10.45am on Thursday.
He has been taken to hospital for treatment.
No arrests have been made, and investigations continue.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
