Three people have been arrested after a woman was forced into a car in Keynsham last night, Monday 27th May, police have said.
An Avon & Somerset Police spokesperson said: “We were called at 8.52pm to the incident on the A4 Bath Road and officers attended and located the victim, who is safe and did not require hospital treatment.
“Subsequent enquiries led to the arrest a woman and two men. All three remain in police custody.
“Enquiries to locate others believed to be involved are ongoing.
“It is believed that all those involved were known to each other and that there’s no wider risk to the public.
“The A4 Bath Road between the Broadmead Roundabout and Pixash Lane was closed while we conducted searches of a vehicle and has since reopened.
“If you have any information which could help our investigation, please call 101 and quote reference 5224135954.”
Bath & North East Somerset Council this morning delayed the planned closure of the A431 for essential tree works until the A4 was reopened as there are traffic hold-ups at Saltford due to Wessex Water roadworks.
The A431 is now closed between the junction with Penn Hill Road in Bath and the access road to Kelston Park for four days.
The overhanging trees along the A431 have caused buses to be re-routed via the A4 since 10th May because of concerns about safety following an incident in which top-deck windows were smashed and passengers injured.
Access along the A431 is being maintained for residents during the closure. The road is open for cyclists and pedestrians under the direction of a marshal.
