Belmore, Sydney kidnapping: Man allegedly has teeth ripped out as police storm suburban street

A victim has allegedly had his teeth ripped out after being held captive for five days with heavily-armed police finally storming the home to rescue him. 

Dozens of NSW Police and tactical officers attended a property on Canterbury Road in Belmore, in Sydney’s southwest, on Tuesday night. 

The man held against his will is believed to be the relative of a person suspected of being involved in a drug deal gone wrong. 

NSW Police said six men were arrested overnight in relation to the kidnapping.

Police stormed the Canterbury Road property armed with grenades, police dogs and an armoured truck labelled ‘rescue vehicle’ just after 6pm on Tuesday. 

‘There were people lying on the ground. We thought they were dead,’ neighbours told Daily Mail Australia on Wednesday.

At least two men were arrested from a home on the corner of Chelmsford Avenue, just minutes from the property where the man had been held. 

‘Six people have been arrested as part of an ongoing investigation by the Robbery and Serious Crime Squad,’ police said on Wednesday. 

‘Two were taken to Granville Police Station and a further four to Campsie Police Station, where they are assisting police with their inquiries.’

The kidnapping victim was allegedly tortured for five days before he was rescued. 

In footage from a police operation, heavily armed officers are seen throwing flash grenades into the Canterbury Road home as loud bangs are heard.
