A gang of thugs preyed on drunk lone men walking the streets of Manchester city centre, before plundering thousands of pounds from their bank accounts.
Unsuspecting young men in their 20s, who were trying to secure a taxi home, were offered lifts before being bundled into the back of a car and forced to handover huge sums of money.
Almost £9,000 was stolen from the four victims, with one being kidnapped and held in an Audi vehicle for more than an hour. They were all left terrified, and some even blamed themselves for being 'naïve' or 'daft'.
