Toronto police are searching for two suspects in connection with a violent kidnapping and assault near Scarborough Town Centre last week.
The incident occurred on Nov. 17 at around 3:45 p.m.
According to investigators, a man was forced into a vehicle against his will by three suspects and “physically assaulted over several hours.”
The man was forced at gun point to hand over a substantial value of jewellery, police said.
Police say the man was able to escape several hours later. Few other details have been provided regarding the kidnapping.

He is facing multiple charges, including kidnapping, forcible confinement, robbery with a firearm, assault causing bodily harm, theft of a motor vehicle, and extortion.
The charges have not been proven in court.
