Police say two men have been charged after a resident of New Westminster was kidnapped last week.
They say police from that city worked with specialty units from the R-C-M-P, Vancouver Police Department, gang squad and other agencies to intercept two armed suspects and safely rescue the person who'd been taken hostage.
A 40-year-old man from Kamloops has been charged with kidnapping, forcible confinement, assault with a weapon and use of an imitation firearm, while a 42-year-old man from Vernon faces the same charges, except assault.
Police say both suspects remain in custody as investigators continue to gather evidence.
