Eleven men have been arrested after another man was allegedly kidnapped in the middle of the night and held hostage in a warehouse which was then set on fire. 

Police allege a group of men – one armed with a firearm – forced their way into a home in Bringelly in Sydney’s far south-west about 3am on Tuesday and confronted a 37-year-old and a 61-year-old man who were inside.

The gang allegedly assaulted the older man before bundling the younger man into a waiting vehicle outside the Jersey Road home.

Tactical Operations Unit officers and police negotiators carried out inquiries and then converged on an industrial warehouse on Marigold Street in Revesby in the city’s south-west.

Officers established a perimeter around the warehouse and negotiated with the alleged kidnappers to release the 37-year-old Bringelly man into police custody.

He was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries to his head and face.

The 61-year-old man suffered minor injuries. 

New South Wales Police allege the Revesby warehouse was then set on fire before eight men were arrested by tactical officers.

A further three men were arrested after arriving in a vehicle at the warehouse during the police operation.
