Four people are facing drug charges and others such as kidnapping and forcible confinement following a Didsbury RCMP investigation into an alleged home invasion and kidnapping incident with ties to an outlaw motorcycle gang.

On June 17, Mounties allege a kidnapping and assault occurred where three suspects abducted two adult victims from a location in Olds.

Police say the victims were driven in their own vehicle to the Syndicate Motorcycle Club Clubhouse in Red Deer where one of them was assaulted. They were released and left from the clubhouse.

On June 29, three different suspects came to the same victims’ residence in Didsbury and broke into the house before stealing the female victim’s car and fleeing.

An in-depth investigation was launched by Didsbury RCMP with assistance from Olds and Red Deer RCMP Detachments, Red Deer and Calgary General Investigation Sections, the Forensic Identification Section, the RCMP Interview Assistance Team and ALERT in Red Deer, as well as the K Division Gang Intelligence Coordinator.
