A few more details of the individual identities would be helpful! The only registration number visible is FRB 345 on the AVK Ruby van, although according to the A7CA Register, that is the number of an AVJ van (which is what the van in red primer is!). Either way, the chassis number for FRB 345 is C290629.

If they are taken without the owners consent then surely they are stolen.

Aren't all crimes are 'alleged' until proven?

They are missing; they may have been abducted. Very Happy
