A MAN was beaten up and abducted outside his house in Houghton Regis before being dumped in the street.
The 30-year-old was attacked in Leaf Road by a gang at about 11pm on Saturday, May 12 before he was forced into the back of a dark-coloured Transit-style van.
He was assaulted further and then dumped close to his address.
The victim, who suffered a dislocated shoulder and severe bruising to his face, was taken to the Luton & Dunstable Hospital.
Det Con Colin Knight, investigating, said: “This appears to have been a premeditated attack by a gang who carefully picked out their victim who suffered some very nasty injuries during the assault.”
