A woman and two men from Calgary are facing charges in a robbery and kidnapping case that included two children in a stolen vehicle. As well, a search is underway for a fourth suspect.
Calgary Police say the victim, a 31 year old man, was forced into the trunk of his car and driven to the city’s outskirts just after midnight August 18.
The victim was walking his dog in a park when another man approached him and threatened him with a knife.
CPS says a “physical altercation” ensued, and “two more men arrived.. the three (suspects) pushed the victim into the trunk of his car, then drove the vehicle to the outskirts of the city.”
The victim was released at Wagon Wheel Crescent near Balzac, and his vehicle driven away by the suspects.
“The victim sustained minor injuries and was able to flag down a passing motorist who called RCMP. Later our officers were able to track the stolen car to the northeast community of Rundle,” CPS states in a news release.
“The car then drove out of Calgary at a high rate of speed and with the assistance of HAWCS & the RCMP, was followed to Innisfail where it came to a stop.”
RCMP arrested a woman who at that time was driving the vehicle, as well as two male passengers.
There were also two children in the car.
