CALGARY — A Calgary man is no longer facing charges of abducting six children. The Crown dropped the charges on Thursday, one day before his trial was to begin. A woman reported to Calgary police that her partner had left Alberta with her six children in Oct. 24, 2016. The 50-year-old man, whose name cannot be released to protect the children, was arrested a few days later in Bowmanville, Ont., about 75 kilometres northeast of Toronto. The children were taken into protective custody before being transported back to Calgary and all were in good health.
