A MAN was drugged and kidnapped by thieves who stole his car and left him on a roadside.

The victim, who works in Ruislip Manor, was driving along Torrington Road, Ruislip, at 9.30pm on Sunday, December 8, when he was stopped by two men asking for directions.

The men showed him a piece of paper with an address but, as he leant over to help, a third man reached through the window and put a pad over the driver's face.

The man lost consciousness and came to at the roadside on Hayes bypass a little later. His car, a green K-reg Toyota Corolla Hatchback registration K254 YBM, was missing.

DS Shaun Dodds, at Ruislip crimedesk, said: "We would always advise people to be on their guard and very careful if they are stopped by strangers for any reason."

The first suspect is described as black, about 22 years old and of slim build with dreadlocks and dressed in casual clothing.

The second suspect is described as black, about 22 years old, 5ft 10ins tall, of slim build with dreadlocks. He was wearing a grey hooded jumper.
