Police are asking for the public’s help in locating a third suspect wanted in connection with an alleged kidnapping in southeast Calgary earlier this month.
According to a Thursday press release, on Oct. 12 police were informed that a woman was allegedly being held against her will at a residence in the 2000 block of 37 Street S.E. The next day, on Oct. 13, a search warrant was executed at the home, where police found the victim alongside two men they believe to be responsible for holding her against her will.
As part of the search warrant, officers seized a sawed-off rifle, a stolen motorcycle, numerous cellphones and several drugs, including roughly 607 grams of fentanyl valued at $60,700, 360 grams of methamphetamine valued at $7,200 and 850 millilitres of GHB valued at $4,250.
Police believe the kidnapping was targeted and drug-related.
Two Calgary men have since been charged in connection with the incident.
Joseph Richard Frederick Sarazen, 45, faces charges of overcoming resistance to commission of an offence, forcible confinement, assault, theft under $5,000 and three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking. He is scheduled to appear in court Nov. 2.
Jordan Barry Taylor, 36, faces the same charges, along with possession of a prohibited firearm, possession of a firearm in breach of a court order and unsafe storage of a firearm. His next court appearance is scheduled for Nov. 5.
Police are also seeking Dmetri Tyrone Cappo, 33, who is wanted on several warrants, including forcible confinement, theft under $5,000, possession for the purpose of trafficking and breach of a court order.
Cappo is described as approximately six feet tall and weighing about 280 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information relating to the incident can contact CPS at 403-266-1234 or can submit an anonymous tip via Crime Stoppers.
