Two people have been charged with kidnapping after a targeted incident in Launceston earlier this month.
Police were called just before 3pm on Friday, 14 June after a man was reportedly taken to a business premises to withdraw cash after being assaulted at a private residence in Punchbowl.
The alleged victim alerted the business, who contacted police.
The man received non-life-threatening injuries as a result of the incident.
A 31 year old Ravenswood man was last week charged and appeared in court for kidnapping, aggravated robbery, assault and motor vehicle stealing.
A 24 year old Launceston man was today charged with kidnapping, aggravated robbery, assault and motor vehicle stealing.
He was detained to appear in the Launceston Magistrates Court at a later date.
Investigations into the incident are ongoing, and anyone with information should contact police on 131 444 or Crime Stoppers anonymously on 1800 333 000 or online at crimestopperstas.com.au
