Detectives fear a Costa Del Sol drugs war is spilling onto the streets of Britain after a kidnapping.
One man had his ear hacked off in a horrific attack.He was snatched along with another man outside an curry house in West Yorkshire and they were driven around for two hours before being dumped near Crosby Marina, Merseyside.Now police fear an underworld eruption and an orgy of violence will follow the attack as the savage drugs war escalates.Two men were kidnapped off a street in Lupset, Yorkshire, before being found by passers by in Crosby.After being snatched and bundled into a Citroen Berlingo van, the pair were subjected to two hours of torture before one had an ear sliced off.
A police source said: "Two men were found badly beaten on the Marina in Crosby, and one had had his ear hacked off.
"It seems a drugs package had gone missing on its way from Spain and the gang were trying to find out where it was.
"The attack was very vicious and there was lots of blood. It looked more like a scene from a movie."Gangs are becoming more brutal and these kinds of attacks are getting more frequent.
"The package was probably from the Costa Del Sol as so many gangs have links there."
The two men, a 48-year-old from Wakefield, and a 52-year-old from Barnsley, have since been released from hospital.Leading the investigation DCI Jon Hoyle said: "We are investigating a serious and targetted assault on two men."We are keeping an open mind as to the motive of the attack and continue to appeal for information.
"These men were subjected to a sustained attack causing serious injuries before they were found by a member of the public in Crosby."
