Two men are in custody in Regina after a man claimed he was held against his will for an eight-hour drive from Alberta.

Regina police were called to the 1400 block of Park Street around 12:53 a.m. Thursday to the report of possible forcible confinement.

A 24-year-old man alleged he’d been held by two men armed with a gun and a Taser.

Police said the man had no visible injuries and declined help from EMS.

Officers then searched for the vehicle described by the victim and found it around 5:20 a.m. in a motel parking lot in Regina’s east end. The SWAT team and crisis negotiators were called in due to the potential threat of guns.
