Two young men have been arrested on charges of kidnapping and aggravated assault after allegedly forcing another man to take money out of his bank account.

At 2pm on Wednesday the 21-year-old man was taken from his home address in Nelson's Washington Valley by the two alleged offenders, aged 18 and 20, and forced to take cash out from an ATM.

The same men had also allegedly stolen the man's phone the previous weekend.

On Friday police searched a local address and arrested the two alleged offenders.

They will appear in the Nelson District Court on Friday afternoon.
