As York police announced on Wednesday a second arrest in last month’s alleged kidnapping of a Markham student, more details have emerged in the case that has drawn international headlines, featuring the abduction of a wealthy Chinese family’s son, super luxury cars and a ransom request.

Wanzhen Lu, 22, claims that three days after he was snatched from the underground parking lot of his building, he managed to jump out of a moving vehicle despite having his hands duct-taped in front of him, a police source told yorkregion.com.

He told investigators that his alleged kidnappers had moved him to another vehicle and drove him north, said the source, who did not want to be identified so he could discuss the case.

Lu said after he escaped, he ran into the bushes and hid, before finding his way into the yard of resident Dave Wynn in Gravenhurst, about a two-hour drive from Markham.

Wynn told the Gravenhurst Banner that Lu was “scared sh--less,” when they met at the bottom of his driveway before 10 p.m. on March 26.

“I guess they beat him up a little bit and Tasered him when they kidnapped him . . . you can look into somebody’s eyes and know they are distraught and he was just rattled . . . they hooded him, so he didn’t know where he was and he was out in the cold in just a sweatshirt and jeans,” Wynn said. “He still had the duct tape on his sweater as he managed to get the hood off him . . . he was one scared young kid.”

Lu told investigators he doesn’t know what happened to his kidnappers afterward.

His injuries, including “significant body scrapings” appear consistent with having jumped from a moving vehicle, according to the source.

It marked an end to his harrowing ordeal that began at about 6 p.m. on March 23 in the underground parking lot of his Markham condo at Hwy. 7 and Birchmount Rd.

Lu was returning home from a shopping trip with his girlfriend, carrying a pot in a box, getting ready to try out a new recipe.

Surveillance video caught the disturbing scene of the kidnappers using a stun gun to force Lu into a Dodge Caravan, the source said. The video showed sparks flying from the weapon when the kidnappers used it on Lu when he initially tried to escape, the source said.

The suspects held the victim for the next three days, the source said, during which Lu told investigators he sat on a mattress at an unknown location.

Investigators are not ruling out anything and continue to look at all possibilities in the case, the source noted.

The kidnap attempt was not done in a professional manner, with none of Lu’s money accessed, the source said. Lu didn’t even have his wallet on him.

The men also failed to get Lu’s high-end cars.

“I think because of the cars, someone thought he had more than he did,” the source said.

The source confirmed there was a ransom request, but would not elaborate.

Lu’s father is the head of an organization responsible for building temples and churches in China, the source added, while Lu’s mother and her side of the family is the wealthier of the two.

Lu only has one friend and his girlfriend in Canada. Neither are believed to be involved, the source said.

The Dodge Caravan, with stolen plates, appears to have been used by those involved without the knowledge or consent of the owner, according to the source.

As the investigation continues, York Region police announced Wednesday morning that they have arrested a second man in the kidnapping.

A 33-year-old man was arrested after a search warrant was executed at a Brampton home, police said.

Hashim Abdullahi has been charged with kidnapping, forcible confinement, assault with a weapon and assault. He will next appear in Newmarket court April 8.

The arrest comes just hours after another suspect turned himself in to York Region police.

Police had issued a Canada-wide warrant for Abdullahi Adan, 37, of Toronto, on Monday and he turned himself in overnight.

He also is charged with kidnapping, forcible confinement, assault and assault with a weapon.

Adan appeared in court Tuesday via video with unkempt hair, a goatee and a Pittsburgh Steelers hoodie.

Two other suspects are still being sought and police are urging them to surrender.

One is described as wearing a mask, blue pants and a black jacket at the time of the abduction. The second is described as 6-ft.-1 with dark skin and wearing a black Canada Goose jacket.
