Police uncover new evidence in Brampton kidnapping case involving $200K demand
According to Peel police’s release, the investigation began on Nov. 6, 2025, at approximately 6 p.m., when a complainant contacted officers to report that a close friend had been kidnapped.
Investigators allege the accused demanded $200,000, warning that the victim would be harmed if the payment was not made.
The victim was safely located and found to be unharmed. One accused was arrested at the scene, where a .45-calibre firearm was recovered.
“Through their coordinated and persistent efforts, they [police] removed an illegal firearm from our streets and intervened in time to protect a victim from harm,” Peel Regional Police Chief Marc Andrews said.
Police say a Brampton kidnapping investigation involving a $200,000 ransom demand led to multiple charges, a seized firearm and new evidence uncovered through search warrants.
On Feb. 13, 2026, investigators executed two Criminal Code search warrants in Brampton, where additional evidence related to the investigation was located.
