HALIFAX – RCMP have charged a man and a woman with an alleged kidnapping in Nova Scotia after the victim was helped by a passing motorcyclist.
Police say they received a report Wednesday that the pair had abducted a man they knew from a home in the Bible Hill area, near Truro, and were travelling in a silver Hyundai Elantra.
While a search for the vehicle was ongoing, police noticed a motorcycle at the home of the victim and pulled it over on a nearby street.
They learned the motorcycle driver had stopped to help the kidnapping victim, who was riding as a passenger and had minor injuries.
The suspects were arrested a couple hours later, with the man suffering from a gunshot wound police say happened before they were involved.
The 37-year-old woman and the 34-year-old man have both been charged with kidnapping, with the man facing charges for violating probation and driving while prohibited.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 30, 2026.
