REGINA – Regina police are urging caution as they search for a suspect connected to a possible kidnapping this week.
A 19-year-old woman told police she was leaving a North Central house party just after midnight on July 7, when a white van pulled up beside her.
The victim says a man got out and pulled her into the back of the van while hitting her several times. She then says the man drove around for some time before opening the back door again, which is when she fought the man off and got away.
