A 37-year-old man was arrested earlier this week after he surrendered to police. Abdullahi Adan has been charged kidnapping, forcible confinement, assault with a weapon, and assault in connection with the abduction of 22-year-old Wanzhen Lu on March 23.

Lu was allegedly kidnapped from an underground parking garage in Markham. Police say he was shocked several times with a stun gun and forced into a minivan.

He was found three days later after he showed up to a home in Gravenhurst seeking help.

Police say they are still looking for two suspects and will dedicate “significant resources” to find them.

Investigators strongly urge the suspects to turn themselves in.
