A man allegedly had his teeth ripped out while being held captive for five days in a run-down red brick home in Sydney’s south-western suburbs – as heavily armed police storm the property to rescue him.
Dozens of heavily armed NSW Police tactical officers and police dogs swarmed a property on Canterbury Road in Belmore, in Sydney‘s southwest, about 6pm on Tuesday night – hurling flash grenades.
Four men were arrested at the property and a further two were nabbed by officers a few streets away.
The allegedly kidnapped man is believed to be related to a suspect caught up in a drug deal gone wrong.
‘There were people lying on the ground,’ one neighbour told Daily Mail Australia outside the home on Wednesday. ‘We thought they were dead!’
