Possible Brampton kidnapping was simulation of ‘movie type scene’

By News Staff

Peel police say a possible kidnapping incident in Brampton turned out to be “a group of males attempting to simulate a movie type scene.”

On Saturday, a male teen was walking on Larkspur Road near Larkspur Public School at around 6:00 p.m., when he appeared to be taken from the street and put into a vehicle.

Police said security camera footage from the area showed a silver Honda Civic with four males inside following the victim as he walked along the roadway.

The vehicle then drove past the victim, made a U-turn, mounted the curb and stopped. Two males then got out of the vehicle, grabbed the victim and threw him in the trunk of the vehicle, police said.

The vehicle fled westbound on Larkspur Road, then southbound on Dandelion Road, police said.

At the time, police said they were searching for four suspects. On Sunday, Peel Regional Police said the individuals involved in the incident had been identified.

Following interviews with all of them, officers concluded it was not a kidnapping attempt.
