A relative assumes that the people charged in a bizarre naked kidnapping that ended in a car crash may have unknowingly had hallucinogenic tea over breakfast.

Police  have released few details about what happened Monday just before 10 a.m. in the community of Nisku, just south of Edmonton.

Mounties have said a man, woman and baby were forced against their will from a home in Leduc County into a BMW. Inside the car were five naked people. While the car was being driven, the abducted man, who was in the trunk, managed to escape. The woman and her baby then managed to get away.

The trio were picked up by a passerby, but his work truck was rammed from behind by the car.

When officers arrived, they pulled out the five naked people. The adults, who are 27, 30 and 35, were arrested, but the teens were not charged.

The relative said he laughed about the case when he heard it on the news, then was shocked to learn that his straitlaced daughters were involved.

He visited his youngest girl in hospital, who had been taken with some of the other suspects for treatment.

The man said that they don't remember what happened.

He also believes the car rammed the truck because the tea made those inside think the family had been abducted by the truck driver — not the other way around.
