Three men report kidnapping

Three men were kidnapped from the parking lot of a Honolulu bar and driven around in the back of a van last night before being released.

The men, two of whom are 34 and one 25, told police two "large men" walked into the bar and told them that the trio's vehicle had damaged their car. In the parking lot, the two men forced the group into a van at the corner of Kapi'olani Boulevard and Atkinson Drive.

In the van, the three were bound hand and foot with tape and were blindfolded. The three were driven around while the men talked to them, police said.
