Woman 'kidnapped' outside' nightclub
A WOMAN was grabbed from behind and dragged into a car outside a Lancaster nightclub.
The 20-year-old, who was wearing a black top and white shorts, left Elements nightclub in North Road at around 3.30am on Monday, when a small white car pulled up alongside her.
The front seat passenger got out and grabbed her from behind, pulling her into the car.
A man was driving and there was another man sat in the back of the car.
The woman was able to struggle free and jumped out of the car at the traffic lights in Dalton Square.
She fell over, grazing her knee, before making her way to The Borough pub, where she told a man outside what had happened.
All of the men in the car were described as white and in their early to mid twenties.
One had short dark brown or ginger hair with a dark tracksuit top, another had short dark brown hair that was longer on top and was wearing a bright blue top and the third was a slightly larger build with short brown hair, wearing navy track suit bottoms.
Police are now studying CCTV from the city centre.
Det Insp Glen Oldham said: "There were potentially a number of people in the area who may have witnessed what has happened, especially the man that the victim spoke to outside the Borough pub, and we would like to speak to anyone who has information."
Police are warning people out late at night to stick to well lit main routes, always let people know where they are going and to save enough money for a taxi rather than walking home alone.
Anyone with information on the incident should contact police on 01524 63333.
