4 suspects arrested in Montreal kidnapping
Kidnappers allegedly ambushed couple in the Ahuntsic-Cartierville district, police say

Montreal police have arrested four suspects in connection with the alleged kidnapping and confinement of a couple in their 20s on March 10. 
Police say the motive was to steal cryptocurrency, credit cards and other goods.
The Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) said Monday that the first three suspects, aged 18 and 19, were arrested on May 8 in Montreal. They appeared at the courthouse to face charges including kidnapping, forcible confinement, robbery and unauthorized possession of a firearm.
The fourth suspect, a 21-year-old, was arrested at the Calgary International Airport on Friday after fleeing Quebec. He will be returned to Montreal this week to appear at the courthouse.
The SPVM also reported that searches in Rivière-des-Prairies-Pointe-aux-Trembles and Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve boroughs resulted in the seizure of a loaded firearm, ammunition, and a device for converting a pistol into an automatic weapon (Glock switch).
According to the police, a man and a woman in their 20s were ambushed in the Ahuntsic-Cartierville district.
Late in the evening, armed and hooded suspects appeared and ordered them to board two separate vehicles.
A few hours later, the two victims were found in Dorval, one with facial injuries. Both victims are currently "doing well," said police.
The kidnappers allegedly succeeded in robbing the couple of nearly $25,000 in cryptocurrency, credit cards and certain goods that the victims had in their possession.
The investigation is ongoing, with the SPVM indicating the possible involvement of other individuals.
