CONCEPTION BAY SOUTH, N.L. – Police in Newfoundland are looking for multiple suspects after a man who was abducted from a home in Conception Bay South was found dead just hours later.
The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary says officers were called to a residence in the town’s Seal Cove neighbourhood at about 4 a.m. Saturday morning where a witness told them that a man had been violently dragged from the home by armed individuals wearing masks.
The house was engulfed in flames when police arrived.

The name of the deceased hasn’t been released, and there’s no word yet on the cause of death.
Police say the suspects they’re looking for are armed and dangerous, and they’re urging anyone who knows their whereabouts to contact them immediately.
