Avon and Somerset Police say a reported kidnapping officers were called to last Friday was actually a stag do prank.

Two vehicles were pulled over near Bridgwater - two hours after a mother and daughter saw four men with tights over their heads bundle a tied-up man into a car in Gloucester.

The force - who were involved by Gloucestershire Police when the car was believed to be heading for the M5 - say the men involved were given 'words of advice'.
