Police said they believed the 27-year-old woman may have been taken from an address in Huddersfield and appealed for anyone who saw a large cardboard box which officers have recovered from the woods.

The woman was spotted by a motorist in a dishevelled state near the Woodsome Hall Golf Club, Fenay Bridge, Huddersfield.

She was suffering from minor injuries and has received medical treatment.
