The accused were charged with conspiracy to commit unlawful confinement, possession of a loaded restricted firearm, and possession of a firearm while prohibited.
The police discovered the accused and others in a secluded area with a rental vehicle containing items such as homemade zip-tie handcuffs, a mask, and a loaded handgun.
The accused were also using a laptop to track the GPS location of the intended victim's vehicle.
The court found both accused guilty of conspiracy to commit unlawful confinement.
The driver of the vehicle was found guilty of the firearm offences, while the other accused was acquitted of the firearm offences due to lack of evidence of knowledge or control.
