Five people have been arrested in connection with the violent March kidnapping of a 14-year-old North York boy, who was on his way to school, Toronto police chief Mark Saunders announced Thursday. The men face, collectively, 30 charges, including kidnapping for ransom, forcible confinement, uttering threats and arson. In a press release Thursday, police said “at least five men” were involved in the planning and execution of the abduction. Toronto District School Board spokesperson Ryan Bird told the Star on Thursday that all four teachers have since returned to their positions. During the execution of the search warrants, police also arrested Jeremy Proctor, 25, of Toronto, who is facing multiple charges including drug possession.
