Police in Australia have arrested two suspected kidnappers after finding them napping in a vehicle.

This was revealed by the police department, stressing that the men allegedly threatened and kidnapped a man and a woman in Brisbane, Queensland, at around 2 am Thursday (1600 GMT Wednesday).

The statement added that the police also found several items in the vehicle, including zip ties, bleach, hacksaw blades, wire snips and a blowtorch, as well as cash and drugs.

It also noted that the men, aged 35 and 36, were arrested and would face two charges of kidnapping, two of deprivation of liberty, and two of torture, as well as one count each of assault occasioning bodily harm and robbery.

The victims were allegedly driven roughly 80 kilometres (50 miles) south to a Gold Coast suburb, where the vehicle stopped at a carpark.

The man and woman, aged 33 and 42 respectively, escaped from the vehicle just after 8 am and called the police.

Bodycam footage trending online, showed an officer opening the door of the vehicle saying, hey buddy, police, which appeared to startle a suspect slumbering in the driver's seat.
