A woman who told police her life and that of her infant were in danger is safe and a man is charged with kidnapping after officers made a high-risk arrest outside of Saskatoon.
A person called Saskatoon RCMP just after 9:15 a.m. CT Tuesday stating a woman was in the back seat of a vehicle screaming for help.
The caller told police the vehicle was heading southbound on Clarence Avenue, south of the city and was able to give a description of the vehicle and driver.
Multiple police units immediately set up a perimeter in the area and started a grid search.
While the search was underway, the woman called Saskatoon police and said both her and her infants’ lives were in danger.
RCMP located the vehicle around a half hour after the initial call came in and made a high-risk arrest.
Both the woman and infant were uninjured.
A 27-year-old Saskatoon man has been charged with kidnapping, forcible confinement, utter threats, breach of an undertaking and possession of a controlled substance.
He was scheduled to appear Wednesday morning in Saskatoon provincial court.
Police said they will not release his name to protect the identity of the victims.
