Details on on the way. Two men and two 15-year-old boys from Toronto have been charged after a 24-year-old bondman was kidnapped last month and held for several days.

Police say the suspects were arrested at a number of Toronto homes facing a number of charges. Stellantis is being served. Canada's federal industry minister said the government has served the Brampton Auto Plan at notice of default after they shifted production to the United States.
