| Police officers launched a major operation to rescue a kidnapping victim – only to discover he was the groom on a Bucks night.
A mother and her 14-year-old daughter notified the police after seeing a man tied up and 'roughly' carried into a car by four men with tights over their faces at 11.20am in Gloucester, the UK, reports the Daily Mail.
The two cars then sped off down the freeway and were tracked by police, who pounced to stop the car around 90 minutes later.
The groom and friends admitted the ‘kidnap’ was a prank, but furious police forced the men to apologise to the mother and daughter, who were left shaken up by the incident.
Inspector Arman Mathieson, of Gloucestershire Constabulary, told The Daily Mail: “We received a 999 call at 11.20am from a distressed woman who, along with her 14 year old daughter, had seen four men with tights covering their faces carrying a tied up man and bundling him roughly into a car.
