Police say three suspects are facing charges after a man and woman were allegedly held captive at a Dartmouth apartment.
The 20-year-old woman told police she and a 25-year-old man were held against their will at the apartment on Roleika Drive by two men and a woman.
She said she managed to escape and called police from a coffee shop on Main Street just after 7 a.m. Thursday.
Police went to the apartment but there was no one there. Their investigation led them to Mountain Road in Halifax, where they arrested two men and a woman without incident.
The alleged male victim was also found at that location, suffering from non-life-threatening injuries.
A chain and knife believed to have been used to assault the man were found inside the apartment on Roleika Drive.
Police say 35-year-old Ryan Harvey Lyman of Gaetz Brook and 36-year-old Nicholas Duncan McCabe of Halifax are each facing two counts of forcible confinement, three counts of assault with a weapon, two counts of possession of a weapon dangerous to the public and one count of uttering threats.
Lyman also faces two counts of breaching a previously imposed recognizance.
Maryssa Danielle Poirier, 22, of Dartmouth is facing charges for being a party to the offences.
Police say the suspects were held in custody overnight and are due to appear in Dartmouth provincial court on Friday.
