Three Canadian Armed Forces members are among seven people facing 82 charges after a kidnapping call snowballed into a larger probe, Toronto police say.
Police Chief Myron Demkiw and Supt. Joe Matthews said Wednesday military ammunition was recovered during the investigation, which began on July 25 when officers were called to a reported abduction near Finch and Bayview avenues. The victim in that case was targeted as he approached his vehicle and was abducted at gunpoint, Demkiw alleged. The victim was handcuffed and assaulted while the suspects allegedly tried to access his cryptocurrency assets, he added. Matthews said the victim was released and was threatened not to call police. Within 24 hours, two suspects were arrested. The investigation that unfolded led to further arrests in August and September, and the discovery that three of the seven people arrested are members of the military.
