A wrong turn onto a bridge in Sault Ste. Marie has led to two men being arrested and charged with kidnapping.
The two men, a 40-year-old from Sault Ste. Marie and a 29-year-old from Sudbury, picked up a 15-year-old on Sept. 19 who was allegedly not allowed to leave the vehicle, police said
Investigators said the men were driving the victim to a hotel when they made a wrong turn onto the Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge.
On trying to re-enter Canada, police said Canada Border Services Agency officers intercepted and detained them at 10:15 p.m. Sept. 19 for suspected kidnapping after observing the 15-year-old in the vehicle.
Both men have since been taken into custody by Sault Ste. Marie police. They face kidnapping charges and remain in custody pending a bail hearing.
