Five men have been jailed after being involved in the kidnapping and attack of a man in Dukinfield in January 2024
The group attacked their victim bundling him into a car and punching and beating him and were caught just 90 minutes later by police
Their victim was thrown into a silver BMW and driven away from the scene, with police later identifying the man following a public appeal.
He had been led there by one of those convicted and a woman accomplice.
He was held in the car for approximately 15 minutes where several of the men took turns hitting and assaulting him, leaving him with a bruised face, cuts to his mouth, and a swollen and purple eye.
His head was held down during the attack so no-one could see him in the vehicle. He was then taken to an address in the South Manchester area, where he was further attacked and had a knife pushed against his cheek.
He was later allowed to leave and attended hospital due to his injuries.
As officers had quickly been able to identify the vehicle involved, it was stopped around 90 minutes late, as it was travelling towards the Blackpool area
Four of those convicted were all seen to have blood on their clothing and one had blood staining to his hands.
Additional items found inside the car included rings that had the appearance of pointed weapons, a lock knife, a metal bar, and just under 200 grams of cocaine, with an estimated valuation of up to £20,000 if broken down.
Daniel Hague aged 35 of Red Bank Road, Blackpool, was jailed for eight-and-a-half years for false imprisonment and assault.
Paul Doherty aged 37 of Daventry Avenue, Blackpool, was jailed for two-years-and-eight months for false imprisonment and assault.
Marshall Redfern aged 24 of Egerton Road, Blackpool, was jailed for two-years-and-one-month, for false imprisonment, assault, and an unrelated robbery offence.
Joshua Oakes aged 29 of Cocker Street, Blackpool, was jailed for two-years-and-six months for false imprisonment and assault.
Jack Lafferty aged 19 of Rectory Road, Manchester, was jailed for two-years-and-six months for assault and conspiracy to kidnap.
Two other people, a man and a woman, received suspended sentences for their roles in the incident.
