Edmonton Police Service investigators are crediting the work of officers in Red Deer and Calgary, after a kidnapping in Edmonton Sunday was eventually resolved with help from officers in both of those communities.

According to Edmonton Police Service officers, they were contacted by Calgary police, who told them a man had allegedly been abducted in Edmonton on Sunday at about 6 p.m.

It’s believed the man had been trying to sell his vehicle online, and met a pair of possible buyers in a west Edmonton parking lot that evening.

Police said it’s alleged the man was forced into his vehicle, and then driven to Calgary – the suspects reportedly threatened his life.

When they got there, the alleged abductors picked up a third suspect, and put the car owner in the trunk of the vehicle.

It’s from there that the victim managed to escape, before contacting Calgary police.

CPS officers managed to track down that vehicle, and tried to stop it – but the suspects fled from police, and headed north.

Finally, police in Red Deer used a spike belt to stop the vehicle, and arrest two male suspects – who remain in custody, and are facing charges ranging from robbery, to kidnapping, uttering threats, and weapons offences.

A third suspect remains at large.
