Suspect facing multiple charges in connection with January abduction

A 32-year-old man is facing multiple charges including kidnapping and aggravated assault in connection with the Jan. 22, 2015 violent abduction and assault of an Edmonton man in southwest Edmonton.

On Jan. 22, 2015, at approximately 11: 30 p.m., patrol members responded to a Southwest Edmonton residence, after receiving a call regarding an alleged abduction. It was reported to police, that three suspects impersonating police officers approached the residence and demanded the complainant accompany them.

The complainant was subsequently driven to a south-side location, where the suspects are alleged to have severed an appendage on the complainant’s body, before leaving him in a nearby field. He was eventually found by a passing motorist who contacted EMS. The complainant was then transported to hospital, where he underwent surgery for his non-life threatening injuries.

Steven Gordon Vollrath is charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault, possession of a weapon and impersonating a police officer.

Southwest detectives continue to investigate, and are asking anyone with information regarding the identity of the two remaining suspects or their whereabouts to contact police by calling the EPS at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a mobile phone.
