Police seek to ID 3 suspects in ‘targetted’ abduction of Toronto man | Globalnews.ca

Roberto Marchioni, 57, of Toronto is still missing as of Saturday afternoon, police said as they appealed to the public for help in identifying suspects in what’s believed to be a targeted abduction.

York Regional Police began investigating reports of “suspicious circumstances” after his black Range Rover was found outside a business at 119 Westcreek Drive in Vaughan, Ont., around 6:20 a.m. Friday – roughly four hours after surveillance video shows him leaving work and being assaulted and forced into a grey 2020 Honda CRV LX by two suspects.

A third suspect is also believed to be involved.

The vehicle was last seen taking Langstaff Road to Highway 400 southbound. Police also believe a black Dodge Ram pickup truck was involved in the incident. It’s described as a “fairly new model” and has electronic powered running boards.

The homicide unit is investigating but a police spokesperson said that the unit investigates both kidnappings and homicides.

“We do not know where he is and are appealing for witnesses and information,” the spokesperson said. At a news conference Saturday afternoon, Inspector Paolo Fiore said police are “very concerned” for his wellbeing, as is his family.

“Investigators have been working diligently since the report came in and have made some progress in this investigation, but they have not been able to identify the suspects involved,” police said in a release, which included photos of the suspects and suspect vehicle.
