Three men will face a Queensland court today after they were dramatically arrested by police hours after they allegedly kidnapped a man and threatened him with a blow torch and pliers.

Police allege the 25-year-old man went to a home in Strathpine, in Queensland’s Whitsundays region, just after 12.30pm yesterday when the ordeal kicked off.

When the 25-year-old arrived at the home, police allege a group of three men pounced, threatening him with a blow torch and pliers.

The 25-year-old man, who knew the group of three, was then allegedly forced into a car before he was driven around the Strathpine area.

Police allege the trio then demanded the man call a family member and request money.

Instead, the family member called local police.

Officers from the Strathpine region quickly located the car on Gympie Rd, arresting the trio just before 4pm.

The 25-year-old man, from nearby Lawnton, was also found nearby and uninjured.

A 29-year-old Wamuran man, a 22-year-old Margate man and a 27-year-old Morayfield man have all been charged with one count each of extortion and deprivation of liberty.

They will all appear at the Pine Rivers Magistrates Court today.
