POLICE are appealing for information following a suspected kidnap in Stratford.
A woman who was a passenger in a black BMW was witnessed trying to get out of the car following a verbal dispute with the driver as it approached the Navigation Inn in Wootton Wawen on Thursday July 25.
She managed to get out of the car and the car drove off.
The vehicle had previously been seen driving erratically along Birmingham Road in Stratford at around 10pm.
Several cars passed the woman before one stopped. The female driver helped the woman to call a friend and the incident was reported to police.
A 24-year-old man from Stratford arrested on suspicion of kidnap and false imprisonment has been bailed pending further enquiries.
Detective Constable Donna Parry said: “We understand this is a concerning incident, but we’re keen to get to the bottom of what happened and are pursuing a number of lines of enquiry as part of our ongoing investigation.
“We’re particularly keen to speak to the person who stopped to help the woman and would encourage them to get in touch as soon as possible. Equally if you drove past the woman near the Navigation Inn pub and can help us, it would be great to hear from you.
“Finally, if you saw the black BMW between 10pm and 11pm as it travelled from Stratford town centre to Wootton Wawen, please contact us.
“Any information could help.”
Anyone with information can report it on Warwickshire Police’s website quoting incident number 110 of 26 July.
