Police say three people have been charged in relation to an alleged kidnapping in Napier today.
Officers responded to the incident just before 9am to begin inquiries.
As a result, one alleged offender was arrested in Whakatu.
Shortly afterwards, the Hawke's Bay Armed Offenders Squad executed a search warrant at an address on Kenny Av in Ahuriri, known to be the headquarters of the Outlaws gang in Napier.
The victim was located a short distance from this location, and a further two alleged offenders were arrested.
