Wanzhen Lu kidnapping suspects at large despite student's re-emergence
Wanzhen Lu was allegedly kidnapped Saturday evening, while in the parking garage of his condo building in Markham, Ont. Police have said that he was taken by four men who had seemingly been waiting for him in a stolen minivan. One of the men allegedly shocked Lu multiple times with a stun gun. A woman who was with Lu at the time was not harmed.
“He knocked on the door looking for help, and the residents there did the right thing – they called police right away,” York Regional Police Const. Andy Pattenden told reporters Wednesday morning. Lu was taken to a nearby hospital with what Pattenden described as minor injuries. After a short time there, he was taken back to the Markham area where he spoke with police investigators.
In addition to talking to Lu, investigators were expected to spend time in Gravenhurst Wednesday searching for evidence as their focus shifted from finding him to tracking down his captors.
