Three men and a woman have been arrested after allegedly abducting an Adelaide man, stripping him of his clothing, assaulting and robbing him, and holding him for ransom.
Police allege that at about 8:00pm on Friday the group lured the 21-year-old man to a house at Oaklands Park.
There, according to police, the group assaulted him, stripped him and forced him to transfer money from his bank account.
Police said the group then contacted one of the man's relatives, threatening to stab him if they did not bring jewellery to the house.
Officers arrived at the Lucknow Street property at about 11:30pm.
Police said they found the alleged victim, who did not require medical treatment.
Two Oaklands Park men, aged 35 and 38, a man from Happy Valley, 24, and a woman from McCracken, 20, were also found at the house, according to police.
The four were arrested and charged with abduction, unlawful detention, aggravated assault and aggravated robbery.
They were refused police bail and they are due to face the Christies Beach Magistrates Court on Monday.
Neighbours frightened
Police said the alleged perpetrators and victim were known to each other.
Next door neighbour Matthew Davis said it was usually a quiet street and he was glad police made arrests.
"I woke up in the middle of the night and I saw about four or five police cars and they were interviewing someone," he said.
"I don't like that sort of thing happening in my street.
"It's horrible. It's a horrible thing to happen."
Another neighbour, who declined to be named, said the incident was frightening.
"It's crazy, it's absolutely crazy you know — I can't believe it," the neighbour said.
"It's unbelievably scary. It's absolutely scary."
