The victim, believed to be aged 28 to 32, is said to have been forced into a white Ford Transit tow truck by two men on Millharbour Road, Canary Wharf.

“Were you in or near Millharbour Road around the time of the incident and saw anything suspicious, or do you have any CCTV or mobile phone footage that will assist us with our enquiries?”
