Police are asking the public for help with investigations into a New Lambton abduction and robbery.

On Saturday, August 25, a 33-year-old man was allegedly abducted from a home on Kings Road by an unknown group of people and driven to a number of locations around Newcastle.

He was threatened with a firearm and knife and forced to withdraw cash from ATMs.

The man was eventually freed and taken to the Mater Hospital as a precaution, however, sustained no physical injuries.

Strike Force Becap officers are now seeking information about a black Harley Davidson motorbike with NSW registration plates DGX 85 and a blue 2002 BMW with registration CQ 89 KV stolen from the property.

Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
