Samir Abdelgadir was one of five people charged with the kidnapping of a 14-year-old Toronto teen in 2020 .

The case sparked an Amber Alert and captivated the city’s attention until the teen was found in a rural barn 38 hours later.

The teen, whose identity is covered by a publication ban, was abducted around 8:30 a.m. that day outside 345 Driftwood Ave., near Jane Street and Finch Avenue West .

He was driven in the Jeep , in tandem with a black Tahoe and a white Mercedes SUV, to a house in Brampton , where he was held captive.

The Crown argued Abdelgadir was captured by a covert camera being used by the OPP in an unrelated investigation driving the Tahoe on the day of the abduction.

The Crown also argued he was seen driving the Mercedes four days before the kidnapping.

A pre-sentence report is being ordered, and a sentencing hearing is scheduled for May .
