Police are investigating an abduction and carjacking in Wyndham Vale on Saturday afternoon in which a man was held captive for an hour before being dumped in the Queenscliff area on the Bellarine Peninsula.
The man’s car was stopped at traffic lights on Ballan Road near Jubilee Estate about 12.30pm when he was approached by four unknown males with their faces covered.
The four demanded he hand over his wallet and mobile phone, then forced him into the back seat.
They drove the victim towards Geelong before letting him out in the Queenscliff area, more than an hour away.
The man’s captors then sped off in his car and left him there. The man was not injured.
Police ask that anyone with information call Crime Stopers on 1800 333 000.
