Alberta family forced into car by naked kidnappers calls experience 'frightening'

Edmonton, Nov 11 (IBNS): An Alberta family, who were forcefully taken into a car by five naked kidnappers days ago, called the experience as "frightening", media reports said.

A man, a woman and a baby were forced to get into the car, which later rammed into a lorry.

One of the family members told media: "We just don't have enough information. We have no answers as to whether anything was purposely taken or not purposely taken."

Though the family members preferred not to divulge more about the incident as the case in impending in the court, they said the accused kidnappers are known to them as neighbours.

The naked kidnappers, who have crashed a car with a lorry in Alberta days ago, have been suspected to drink trippy tea leading to the incident.

A relative suspected the naked men, who initially had a planning of kidnapping, to drink some hallucinogenic tea along with the breakfast.

Following the crash, police had arrested five naked men who were present in the car.

The incident was taken up by the court on Thursday.

Three adults were charged with kidnapping and restricting oneself from being arrested.

The relative said the accused are not bad people but they might have just drank trippy tea.

The relative told media: "It’s absolutely crazy"

"It’s a scary thought thinking, ‘Oh, let’s try this tea that we purchased.’ And then all sit down thinking they’re just going to have a nice morning and end up in that circumstance" he added.

However, when the car was being driven, all three who were forced into the BMW car managed to escape.

The police when arrived the spot arrested all five naked people. While three adult naked kidnappers were charged, two teens were left out.
