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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Police believe the kidnapping was targeted and drug-related.<\/p>\n
Two Calgary men have since been charged in connection with the incident.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Cappo is described as approximately six feet tall and weighing about 280 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police are asking for the public’s help in locating a third suspect wanted in connection with an alleged…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":950814,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194293],"tags":[49,2798,48],"class_list":["post-950813","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-calgary","tag-ca","tag-calgary","tag-canada"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/950813","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=950813"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/950813\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/950814"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=950813"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=950813"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=950813"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
