A 40-year-old man has been charged with several offences after police received a report that a person had been held captive and assaulted for two days at a residence in New Brunswick.
In a media release, police said they initially received a report on Dec. 13 regarding the events that allegedly occurred at a residence in Carlingford, a rural Victoria County community near the United States border.
“On December 18, subsequent to an investigation, members of the New Brunswick RCMP Emergency Response Team (ERT) executed a search warrant at the man’s residence,” the RCMP said in a statement.
