Detectives investigating the report of a kidnapping in Silverbridge on Saturday 17th February have charged two men aged 39-years and 45-years with kidnapping, grievous bodily harm with intent and blackmail.

Both men are due to appear at Newry Magistrates Court today (Monday 19th February).

As is normal procedure all charges are reviewed by the Public Prosecution Service.
