A City of Kawartha Lakes man and two Oshawa men face forcible confinement and drug-related charges following an investigation by Durham police.
Durham Regional Police allege a woman was forced to stay in a room in a Simcoe Street North apartment belonging to one of the suspects from Aug. 2 to 5.
The woman eventually located a cellphone on Aug. 5 and called a friend for help, police said.
Officers then identified the location of the alleged forcible confinement and gained entry to the apartment. The woman was taken to hospital, and three suspects were arrested at the scene.
A subsequent search warrant resulted in the seizure of a variety of drugs and cash worth approximately $32,500, according to police.
On Friday, police released details regarding the arrests.
