Laval police are looking for at least another suspect in the case of the attempted kidnapping of a teen and have increased presence near a school to reassure students.
The attempt happened Tuesday at around 3:00 p.m. near the Curé-Antoine-Labelle high school in the Sainte-Rose district of Laval.
“Two suspects jumped out of the car and tried to force the victim to get inside the car,” said Laval police spokesperson Stéphanie Beshara.
According to Beshara, the victim was with a friend at the time. They both resisted the kidnapping and a fight broke out with the suspects.
One of the suspects then shot a single bullet in the air but the bullet didn’t hit anyone.
However, both the victim and his friend were taken to hospital to be treated for minor injuries following the fight.
“The two suspects ran away in the car after the incident,” Beshara said.
Later on, police were able to locate the car in the Sainte-Dorothée district.
