The Mounties are searching for two suspects who are charged with forcible confinement and sexual assault, after allegations a 16 year-old boy was held against his will in a home in the small town of Upper Chelsea, Lunenburg Co.

Police say they got a call from a resident around 7:15 p.m. on the evening of Monday, September 24th saying a boy had turned up at their home in need of assistance.

There are reports the boy was in chains.

He was taken to hospital in Halifax with non-life threatening injuries.

RCMP Forensic Units are now investigating at a home on Faulkner Road in Upper Chelsea.  

David James Leblanc, 47, and Wayne Alan Cunningham, 31, are being sought in connection with the incident.  Both are charged with forcible confinement and sexual assault.

The Mounties believe the pair is either still in Lunenburg County or that they have traveled to Halifax County.

Upper Chelsea is just over an hour’s drive outside of Halifax.
