WETASKIWIN- RCMP say an injured woman was held inside the trunk of a vehicle before she managed to escape and get help at a nearby car wash.

Mounties say the woman told them she had been kidnapped and attacked by someone with a gun before she got away and ran to a car and truck wash in Wetaskiwin on Wednesday.

Her kidnappers fled but their stolen vehicle was found early yesterday morning in Edmonton, several hours before three suspects were arrested.

There is no immediate word on charges but police say the people involved are known to one another.

The Wetaskiwin RCMP General Investigations Section continue to investigate.
