Surrey RCMP say they have arrested one of two men sought Canada-wide on a slew of charges, including kidnapping.
Mounties said Nathan Barthelette was arrested by Canadian border officials while trying to cross into Canada at the Pacific Highway border crossing on Sept. 3.
Barthelette, 21, and Meaz Nour-Eldin, 22, were the subject of Canada-wide warrants issued in August.
