A Winnipeg man who is alleged to have helped a friend kidnap his two children four years ago has been returned to Winnipeg.

Robert Groen, 41, was extradited to Canada on July 19 and returned to Winnipeg the next day, Winnipeg police said today.

Groen allegedly helped Kevin Maryk kidnap his two young children, Abby and Dominic, then seven and five years old, in August 2008 and hide them in Mexico.

The Winnipeg Police Service is requesting the public's assistance in locating a 41-year-old wanted male, Robert Groen. Groen was last seen on February 6, 2011, leaving his residence in Winnipeg. He is believed to have left the country. Groen is a known associate of Kevin Maryk. The Winnipeg Police Service's investigation into the abduction of Abby and Dominic Maryk in 2008 has revealed that Groen had assisted Kevin Maryk in the abduction. As such, he is currently wanted on a Canada-wide warrant.

Maryk and Groen were arrested by Mexican authorities at a home in Guadalajara in May. The two children were found safe and returned to their mother, Emily Cablek.

Kevin Maryk remains in custody in Mexico.
