WATCH: Nation-wide arrest warrants have been issued for two additional suspects linked to an attack that took place just a few weeks before 37-year-old Elnaz Hajtamiri was kidnapped in January of 2022. Brittany Rosen has more – Mar 23, 2023

Another man has been arrested in connection with the kidnapping of Elnaz Hajtamiri, over six months after she was abducted.

OPP said Friday that Adam Suleman Ankamah was arrested and charged in connection with Hajitamiri’s disappearance.

Police said 37-year-old Hajtamiri has not been seen since she was abducted by three people from a relative’s home in Wasaga Beach, Ont., located on Trailwood Place on Jan. 12, 2022.

Police said Hajtamiri was taken by three men wearing police gear — but not police uniforms. The suspects fled the scene in a white Lexus RX SUV.

Ankamah, a 29-year-old from Brampton, Ont., was arrested and charged with kidnapping, as well as several firearms-related offences.

The accused remains in custody and is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Barrie on June 1.
