Kidnapping victim allegedly has his teeth ripped out while being held captive for a terrifying week as cops finally storm decrepit suburban home throwing flash grenades to rescue him
- Man held inside Belmore home
- Kidnapping victim was rescued on Tuesday
- NSW Police said six men were arrested overnight
A man allegedly had his teeth ripped out while being held captive for five days in a run-down red brick home in Sydney’s south-western suburbs – as heavily armed police storm the property to rescue him.
Dozens of heavily armed NSW Police tactical officers and police dogs swarmed a property on Canterbury Road in Belmore, in Sydney‘s southwest, about 6pm on Tuesday night – hurling flash grenades.
Four men were arrested at the property and a further two were nabbed by officers a few streets away.
The allegedly kidnapped man is believed to be related to a suspect caught up in a drug deal gone wrong.
‘There were people lying on the ground,’ one neighbour told Daily Mail Australia outside the home on Wednesday. ‘We thought they were dead!’

Neighbours said they heard what sounded like a fight in the street and ran outside to find the area swarming with police.
CCTV footage shows a silver car pulling up outside a house in Chelmsford Avenue about 6.15pm on Tuesday.
As the driver stepped out of the vehicle, a fleet of undercover police cars screech to a holt around them, with officers jumping out and demanding he get onto the ground.
The officers then ordered a second man out of the passenger’s seat and sat him on the ground.

The men were later searched by officers before they were arrested and marched into police cars to be driven away.
‘Six people have been arrested as part of an ongoing investigation by the Robbery and Serious Crime Squad,’ police said on Wednesday.
‘Two were taken to Granville Police Station and a further four to Campsie Police Station, where they are assisting police with their inquiries.’
In footage from a police operation on Monday, heavily armed officers are seen throwing flash grenades as loud explosions are heard.
