Two men have been jailed for a combined total of 17 years for kidnapping a man in Thornton Heath last November

19 year old Benjamin Oliveiro and 24 year old Aubin Wadman bundled their victim into the back of a van before speeding off.

The victim managed to ring his wife from inside who subsequently called police.

Following a pursuit, the defendants jumped out of the van and attempted to flee but were detained after a foot-chase.
