Reward for kidnap robbery clues

The gang left an orange pallet loader behind after the robbery

A reward of £30,000 has been offered in the hunt for a gang who kidnapped a woman from her house in order to steal computer equipment from the firm she worked for.

The robbers gained access to the Pyramid Ltd warehouse on Mill Lane, in Alton, Hampshire, after ambushing the woman at her home on Wayside Road, in Guildford, Surrey.

The woman was tied up and gagged after three men demanded the keys to the warehouse just before midnight on 13 August.

During a reconstruction on BBC Crimewatch on Wednesday, the 30-year-old, said: "The first thing I thought was I was going to be raped and that is why I went into a panic.

"One of them was particularly menacing. He gave me the impression he could hurt me if I didn't play ball."

Forklift trucks

The woman was bundled into the back of a white van and then driven the 30 minutes to the warehouse.

She was then forced to wait for three hours while the robbers selected computer equipment worth £500,000 and loaded it onto two lorries using forklift trucks.

The woman eventually managed to free herself and raise the alarm.

She said: "The way they asked me for items, it sounded like they knew what they were looking for.

"After about 45 minutes there were thumbs up and a lot of smiles."

Surrey Police have released a picture of an orange 'Bulli' pallet loader left behind at the scene of the robbery.

Detectives are looking for three men in connection with the abduction of the woman.

A further four people are believed to have been involved in stealing the computer equipment.
