Four jailed after teen kidnapped, robbed and dumped outside Black Country railway station in one of 'most serious cases ever dealt with'
Four men have been jailed for a total of more than 35 years after kidnapping and robbing a teenager, before dumping him outside a Black Country railway station without his phone or shoes.
A judge has called the kidnapping "one of the most serious kidnap cases" ever dealt with in a Birmingham court.
The 17-year-old victim was outside a snooker hall in Birmingham city centre when he was bundled into a VW Golf on the evening of Friday, September 2, 2022.
In the car were four men, Nickyle Harris, Panashe Mahachi and Danreiko Henry, who are all from Oldbury, and Daejon Byfield, who is from Birmingham.
The four men assaulted the 17-year-old and threatened him with a sawn-off shotgun and a samurai sword.
