Seeking public assistance - attempted abduction

The Calgary Police Service is seeking public assistance for information leading to the identity and whereabouts of people believed to be involved in an attempted abduction.

At approximately 3:20 p.m., on Wednesday, June 8, 2016, police were called to a residence in the 2800 block of 23 Avenue S.W. The victim had arrived home when an older-model green SUV pulled up behind him and two men exited the vehicle. They produced a handgun and demanded the victim go with them. The victim began banging his car and honking his horn to draw attention, causing the suspects to flee.

It is believed a third man was operating the vehicle that the suspects arrived, and fled in.

Officers believe this to be a targeted incident. The investigation into the exact circumstances continues.

The first suspect is described as a black male, approximately 5’5” to 5’8” tall, between 25 and 35 years old, with a slight Jamaican accent. He was wearing a hoodie at the time.

The second suspect is described as black, 5’10” to 6’ tall, between 25 and 35 years old, with curly hair.

The third suspect, the driver of the vehicle, is described as black.

Anyone with information about the identity of the suspects, or the whereabouts of the green SUV, is asked to call the non-emergency line at 403-266-1234, or Crime Stoppers anonymously using any of the following methods: TALK: 1-800-222-8477TYPE: www.calgarycrimestoppers.orgTEXT: tttTIPS to 274637
