Police have arrested five naked people accused of kidnapping a family following a car crash.

In bizarre scenes officers are seen leading the group – who were wearing no clothes – away from the scene.

The five are accused of kidnapping a mother, her father and her newborn baby.

Pictures taken by an eyewitness show a naked woman being led away by police in freezing temperatures.


Royal Canadian Mounted Police Cpl Laurel Scott said the mother, the six-week-old baby and the woman’s father had been abducted from a home in Laduc County at around 9.30am and forced into a BMW against their will.

It is understood man, who was stuffed in the boot, managed to escape from the moving car and the mother escaped with the baby.



Officials say a passerby helped the family, putting them in his truck before the suspect’s white BMW rammed the rear of the Good Samaritan’s truck and ended up wrecked in a ditch.

Police then arrested a man, two women and two underage girls, all of whom were ‘not clothed at the time of their arrest’.

Four of the five naked people were taken to a hospital. The three adults now have charges pending for kidnapping and resisting arrest.

The two underage girls were released without charges. The kidnapped family – who police say knew the naked group – were not harmed.

A police statement said: ‘The RCMP believe that this was a targeted incident and that all parties were known to each other.’
