Detectives have charged three people with more than 25 offences after a man was allegedly held against his will and seriously assaulted in Gladstone, Queensland.

Police will allege the trio abducted a 32-year-old man from a Gladstone address on Sunday the 12th of September before taking him to a New Auckland home where he was restrained and assaulted over a number of hours.

The victim sustained non-life threatening injuries.

A 28 year-old New Auckland man, a 30 year-old Kin Kora man and a 30 year-old New Auckland woman have all been charged with torture, deprivation of liberty, extortion, robbery and assault while armed and a range of vehicle, property and drug offences.

They were all denied police bail and will appear in Gladstone Magistrates Court tomorrow.

All four people are known to each other.
