Gang bundled pregnant woman into van and threatened to cut her fingers off
She was blindfolded and bound at the wrist with cable ties by the gang as they sped away, before they fired questions at about her partner where one of them threatened: 'If you lie to me I'm gonna kick the baby out your stomach.'

Then a series of phone calls was made to her partner as the gang threatened to cut off her fingers if he did not quickly carry out their demands for money and valuable jewellery, the police said.
Johnson, Ghiasi and Mitchell were found guilty of conspiracy to kidnap last month after a six-week trial at Kingston Crown Court.
They were members of a London-based gang, who had been contracted to carry out the kidnapping, the force said.

The 36 year-old woman said she has not been able to go home since the traumatic ordeal and spent the rest of her pregnancy sleeping on her sister's couch.
In her victim impact statement, she told the court: 'The incident ruined my life. I will never be the same person again. I am having to start my life all over again.
'I will forever have fear and paranoia as part of my life now. I didn't deserve to be a victim of what happened to me. And to top it off, it was all made so much worse by being pregnant.
'This will always be something that will be part of my pregnancy, which is meant to be a happy experience, and will always be something that is a part of my daughter.'

She was kidnapped as she waited for a cab to take her to a personal training session with her mother and sister.
She was walked along the curb close to her Enfield home, when she was suddenly grabbed and thrown into the back of a white Ford Transit van.
A police spokesman said the Met's Flying Squad responded to the crime immediately.
They tracked the van using CCTV and located the vehicle the same night the hostage was recovered.
DNA evidence, fingerprint impressions and mobile phone data were used to identify the suspects.
The police said Johnson, of Cranberry Close, Northolt, had pleaded guilty to conspiracy to kidnap and was sentenced to five years and four months.
Ghiasi, of Fourth Avenue, Luton, was sentenced to seven years for conspiracy to kidnap.
Mitchell, of Mannock Close, Barnet was sentenced to nine years for conspiracy to kidnap.

Last month we told how teams of thieves were leaving the taxpayer-funded hotel to hit London's West End in organised shoplifting sprees. A whistleblower who works for a security firm on Oxford Street had tipped us off about the 'huge influx' of gangs using alarm-dodging tactics to loot thousands of pounds of gear from stores such as Liberty. Commander Andrew Featherstone said: 'Tackling shoplifting remains a priority for the Met and I'd like to thank The Sun for assisting our investigation. Through proactive patrols and activity we have solved 163 per cent more cases this year than in the same period last year.' Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick added: 'It is great to see the police taking action following The Sun's superb investigation. These individuals should face the full force of the law and be deported if they are found guilty.' A Met spokesperson confirmed two arrests had been made and that investigations were ongoing. They said: 'The men, aged 36 and 31, were arrested at a hotel in Wembley on the morning of Thursday August 14 on suspicion of theft. "They remain in custody.' 3 Cops arrested two men at the Holiday Inn, Wembley - which is being used to house asylum seekers Credit: Ray Collins
