Men charged with staging ‘Jackass-style’ hoax abduction

POLICE issued a warning yesterday after four men were charged with staging a “Jackass-style” hoax abduction in Scotland.

Shoppers at a supermarket car park called police after they witnessed what they believed was a tussle between violent kidnappers and their victim.

As a car screeched into the car park, a man with a black plastic bag over his head stumbled out in an apparent attempt to “escape”, before being bundled into the boot by two “captors” as the car sped away.
