Officers swooped on a car to rescue a tied-up kidnap victim on Friday morning – only to discover he was a groom on a stag party.
The unsuspecting gent was bundled into the back of a car by masked men in-front of shocked onlookers before the two vehicles sped-off.
A horrified mum out shopping with her 14-year-old daughter immediately called police to report the gang, who had their faces covered with women's tights.
Officers set off in pursuit of the four men south on the M5 towards Bridgwater and pounced at around 1.30pm as they reached junction 24.
Officers were left furious when the 'gang' and their 'victim' were forced to admit the 'abduction' was simply a joke - and all the men were given words of advice.
