Ermington, Sydney: Read the appalling 'I just cut her toe off' texts at the ... trends now
Chilling texts that were allegedly sent by a gang as they threatened to cut off a woman's toes with a bolt-cutter over $25million worth of stolen cocaine have emerged.
A 40-year-old accused kidnapper, who can only be identified as AN for legal reasons, allegedly snatched the woman off a Sydney street and passed her to a group of men who allegedly tortured her for two days in an Ermington basement.
Police claim the woman had a gun held to her head as the gang of up to nine men allegedly tried to extract a 'confession' about the location of 84kg of missing cocaine.
They allegedly sent photos of her severed toe to her boyfriend, and pictures of a gun to her head with the words: 'You think we're joking'.
Other text messages allegedly sent by the group include: 'I just cut her toe off', 'Fingers next' and 'I just stomped on her head.'
The gang allegedly even kidnapped and tortured two two male friends of the woman when they were unable to ascertain the location of the cocaine.

Some of the men then taped her half naked body to a tree under cover of night, police alleged.
After she broke free the woman found help and spent six days in John Hunter Hospital.
