Adan, who is the first of four suspects identified by police, faces charges including kidnapping, forcible confinement, assault with a weapon and assault.

On the evening of March 23, Lu was kidnapped by masked suspects, who were armed with an electric stun gun, in the underground parking garage of an apartment building in Markham when he and a female friend got out of their vehicle.
