Six people who were arrested on May 22 appeared before a Queen's Bench judge for a special court sitting ahead of previously scheduled matters in Estevan today.
Creston Hanson, Ronald Himmelspeck, Amanda Knebush, Dustin MacNeil, Spencer Persson and Jessica Smith have all been remanded in custody until Monday when a show-cause hearing is expected to take place.
All six people are alleged to have involvement in the kidnapping and assault of three individuals Sunday. Each has been charged with kidnapping, use of a firearm in the commission of an offence, extortion, assault with a weapon, death threats and other charges.
The Estevan Police Service is looking for a seventh person in relation to this incident and has issued a warrant for Mark L. Davis. He is described as 5'9" tall, 180 pounds, short brown hair, blue eyes, poor teeth and tattoos. Anyone with information on Davis is asked to call the EPS or contact Crime Stoppers.
According to an EPS press release, the three victims were taken against their will and two of them were assaulted with a tire iron and baseball bat, and a handgun.
