Regina police say they’re looking for two suspects and a victim in a recent kidnapping incident which took place Thursday at about 8 p.m.

A man and woman allegedly stopped their vehicle on the 1000 block of Elphinstone Street and forced a 17-year-old male at gunpoint to get in, according to police.

Minutes later, they kidnapped another 15 – 17-year-old male victim by forcing him into their car at gunpoint as well.

The victims were driven to an “unknown rural area”, according to police. The suspects then drove to a town north of Regina where the victims were able to escape.
