Three British men have been arrested in the Costa del Sol after they allegedly kidnapped a couple for two days over a drugs debt.
The trio, believed to be known to UK police who had categorised them as 'very dangerous', were holding the pair against their will at their home in the holiday resort of Marbella when officers stormed the property.
The alarm was raised by a friend of the couple after one of them sent a WhatsApp message asking for help when one of his abductors fell asleep.
