MONTREAL — Two brothers charged in connection with an alleged kidnapping of their teen sister have been denied bail.

The 22 and 21-year-old men, whose names are under a publication ban to protect the identity of the teenager, were in court today as Quebec court Judge Joëlle Roy delivered her decision.

A 16-year-old girl was allegedly abducted from a restaurant where she was working in west-end Montreal on July 27, triggering an Amber Alert.

The victim showed up at a local police station herself the following morning and three people were arrested.
