Slough kidnapping: Police release CCTV of two potential witnesses after two young boys were seized
Detectives investigating the kidnap of two young boys on a housing estate in Slough have released CCTV footage of two potential witnesses.
The six and 10-year-olds, who were inside a home in Hemming Way on the Britwell estate, were ordered into a white van by three masked men who entered the property just after 7am on New Year's Eve.
The pair were driven around for several minutes, but were eventually allowed out of the van, and they ran back uninjured to the house.
The offenders are described as wearing face coverings and dark coloured clothing, and police say the van looked similar to a Ford Transit.
Thames Valley police have now released CCTV of two people, possibly an adult and a child, who may have seen either the van or the children fleeing it, walking in the area at around 7.20am.
Detective Inspector Nicola Hurdley urged the pair to come forward as she revealed support was being given to the children.
She said: “I would appeal to the people captured in the CCTV, who were walking in Upper Lees Road at about 7.20am to 7.25am to contact police immediately, because they may have vital information that can help our investigation. The easiest way to do this is by calling 101.
“I would also reiterate my appeal to anyone else with any information, no matter how insignificant, to also come forward so we can bring the perpetrators to justice".
