Halifax Police say three people have been taken into custody after a woman reported she was being held against her will at a home just southwest of Halifax.
Authorities said in a news release on Sunday they responded to a call about a woman who had run into the woods near Brunt Road in Harrietsfield at 4:25 p.m.
The woman told police she had been held at a home in the area.
After searching, officers found the home on Prestige Court, where three people were taken into custody.
"At this time, it is believed that is not a random incident and some of the people involved are known to her," Halifax Regional Police Const. John MacLeod said in an e-mail to CBC News.
Police say they've secured the residence while they wait for a search warrant.
The investigation continues.
