Driver hijacked

DRUG dealers are suspected of hijacking a 52-year-old driver at gun point at a service station at Knutsford on the M6 and forcing him to drive his van more than 100 miles.

The driver's ordeal ended in the early hours of yesterday morning after his captors ordered him to drive to various locations throughout Liverpool before escaping in a car driven by a third man. The victim, who was not named, was unhurt.
