Investigators said the men were driving the victim to a hotel when they made a wrong turn onto the Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge.

On trying to re-enter Canada, police said Canada Border Services Agency officers intercepted and detained them at 10:15 p.m. Sept. 19 for suspected kidnapping after observing the 15-year-old in the vehicle.

Both men have since been taken into custody by Sault Ste. Marie police. They face kidnapping charges and remain in custody pending a bail hearing.
