Three men have been charged in a 2024 kidnapping in which a Winnipeg delivery driver was held at gunpoint for hours as thieves stole merchandise from a business and storage facility.

The last suspect was arrested this week, while the first man arrested was sent to prison last month.

The 22-year-old driver was delivering products to a Nairn Avenue business on the evening of Oct. 11, 2024, when he was confronted by a man with a gun, the Winnipeg Police Service said on Friday.

The robber held a gun to the driver’s head and forced him into a trailer, where he stole the victim’s cellphone as well as merchandise from the store.

The robber threatened to hurt the driver and his family, while several suspects drove him to a storage facility on Notre Dame Avenue, where the victim was forced to hand over access codes to a unit.

The robbers made off with about $25,000 in goods from the storage facility, police said, and took the merchandise elsewhere, before dropping the victim off on Nairn Avenue.

The victim, who wasn’t physically hurt, went to police headquarters on Smith Street to report the ordeal.

Major crimes detectives began a lengthy investigation and identified three suspects.

Jonathon Ranger, 43, was arrested in December 2024 on the 900 block of Sherbrook Street. Police said they recovered a stolen gun and about 50 cartons of untaxed, illegal cigarettes during the arrest.

In June, he pleaded guilty to forcible confinement for the Oct. 11 kidnapping and two firearms charges in relation to the gun that was found during his arrest, court records show.

Ranger was given six years and eights months in prison, and barred from possessing weapons for life.

On July 31, 2025, investigators arrested Tyson Shane Daniels, 34, on McPhillips Street and Notre Dame Avenue. They seized a knife, about five grams of methamphetamine and two-and-a-half grams of cocaine.

The last suspect, Terrence Joel McIvor, 35, was arrested by the Treaty Three Police Service in Sabaskong, Ont., south of Kenora, on Monday.

Officers transported him to Falcon Lake, where Manitoba police picked him up and brought him to Winnipeg.

Daniels and McIvor are charged with kidnapping, armed robbery with a gun, extortion and uttering threats, among other offences.
