Update: Toronto police had initially released the name and photo of a 17-year-old suspect sought in this case. Judicial authorization to identify the boy has now expired and he can no longer be identified under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

One man has been arrested in connection with an investigation into what Toronto police are calling a "gang war kidnapping." However, two high-profile suspects remain on the loose.

Canada-wide warrants have been issued for Lincoln Anthony Richards, 23, and a 17-year-old boy, for their alleged role in a kidnapping that police say began with two rival gangs — the Young Buck Killas and Queen's Drive Crips — exchanging gunfire inside a condo tower in the Front Street and Blue Jays Way area on April 18.

Police released dramatic surveillance video of an armed standoff inside the elevator of a Front Street condo tower on Thursday and released photos of the suspects.

The suspects are accused of playing a role in abducting two 17-year-olds, who were held for several days. Police said the victims reported being tied to chairs, forced to perform sex acts, and beaten. Police also said the teens were forced to play Russian roulette with a handgun.

The kidnapped teenagers were released on April 21 after a family member paid a ransom, police said.

On Friday, police said a 51-year-old Toronto man was arrested and charged with:

Kidnapping

Assault with a weapon

Obstructing police

The suspect is set to appear in court at Old City Hall on Saturday.

Police declined to detail how the 51-year-old was involved in the case because the investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact police directly or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
