Police search continues in alleged kidnapping of woman in Brampton

The search continues for a 23-year-old woman and the man police allege kidnapped her early Sunday morning from a home in Brampton.

The Special Investigations Unit said two Peel Regional Police officers opened fire as the suspect sped away with the alleged kidnap victim in the back seat of his vehicle.

Officers had been called to the home at around 3 a.m. to investigate reports of a man banging on the front door and screaming for a person inside to come out.

Peel Regional Police Supt. Sean Gormley said the suspected kidnapper, 21-year-old Kwami Garwood, is considered armed and dangerous. He is wanted for first-degree murder in Toronto.

Police identified the alleged kidnap victim as Salina Ouk.

The black Honda Civic that she and Garwood had been in was later found abandoned.
