The men forced Terrance, 54 into the back seat of his black SUV, while Lutchmin, 53 was told to remain seated in the front. One of the men drove then drove off with them while the others followed in the vehicle they came with.
The couple was taken to a remote area in Balmain where their captors placed Lutchmin together with two other men who they said were also kidnap victims.
Lutchmin was released at about 1 am and Terrance escaped at about 6 am.
