York Regional Police (YRP) say two men and two 15-year-old male youths have been charged in connection with a violent kidnapping that saw a 24-year-old Vaughan man held for several days before being released in Toronto.

Investigators allege the incident began on Nov. 14 when the victim was confronted by multiple suspects in a parking lot near Jane Street and Highway 7. Police say the man was forced into a vehicle and taken from the area, prompting an extensive investigation involving significant resources.

The victim was eventually released on Nov. 19 near Meadowvale Road and Sheppard Avenue in Scarborough. Suffering from minor injuries, he sought help from a passerby and contacted the police.
