Investigators with the HRP/RCMP Integrated General Investigation Section have arrested a man wanted in relation to an abduction that occurred earlier this week in Halifax.
On March 2 at 4:50 a.m. officers responded to a residence in the 3000 block of McAlpine Avenue. A 19-year-old man called police from inside a residence and reported he had been assaulted and was being held against his will by several men. He also advised that one of the suspects had a handgun. He made his way out of the residence to awaiting police members and was transported to hospital by EHS for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.
Contact was made with the occupants of the residence. Two 16-year-old male youths and a 16-year-old female youth are currently facing numerous charges in relation to this incident. This was not a random act as the parties are known to each other.
Yesterday at 5 p.m., investigators arrested 20-year-old Daniel Angus Ryan in Halifax in relation to this investigation. He was held in custody overnight and will appear in Halifax Provincial Court today. He is facing nine weapon-related offences, in addition to one count each of aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, kidnapping, unlawful confinement, uttering threats, extortion and robbery.
