14 Year old boy kidnapped for Bradford Bitcoin after he boasted about success online

A schoolboy who was thought to have made money trading in bitcoin was kidnapped by a gang who demanded £10,000 for his safe return, a court heard.

The 14-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was confronted outside a takeaway in Bradford in May and bundled into a car.

After one of the kidnappers put his hand over the boy’s mouth, the child was punched and forced into the back of a Toyota Auris.

Muhammed Khubaib, who owned the car, activated the vehicle’s central locking as the boy sat between two men in the back.

Khubaib, 22, then punched him in the face with a glove containing sand, Bradford crown court heard.

The boy’s mother was called and she described how the kidnappers demanded money while her son was crying, the court heard.

McBride said it was agreed the mother would give the men £900 and she came out of her home to hand over the cash when Khubaib drove the Auris to the house.

The incident was subsequently reported to the police and Khubaib was arrested a few days later.

He pleaded guilty to charges of kidnap and blackmail, but the court heard that the three other men involved had not been identified or prosecuted. Khubaib was sentenced to four years.

The recorder of Bradford, Judge Richard Mansell QC, said the boy had “clearly been targeted” by the men.
