A man accused of holding a group of men captive and forcing them to call family and friends for money to secure their release has turned himself into police.

The victims showed up at an underground garage in the Jane Street and Grandravine Drive area on July 14 after responding to a Kijiji advertisement for a car that was for sale.

After being shown the car by the seller, police say the victims were then surrounded by a group of men, one of whom produced a gun.

The suspects then allegedly robbed the victims of their belongings, assaulted them and forced them to call friends and family for additional money.

Alhaji Kabba, 28, surrendered to police on Sunday after a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Kabba is facing 21 charges, including forcible confinement, armed robbery, extortion and assault causing bodily harm.
