A New Brunswick woman who says she was abducted by a young man brandishing a gun and forced to drive more than 1,000 kilometres to Toronto this past weekend is shaken up but otherwise doing fine, her family said Monday.

The family of the unidentified 44-year-old woman from Noonan, N.B., about 12 kilometres east of Fredericton, said she is still in Toronto but plans to return home in the next couple of days.

They said she had gone to Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Woodstock west of Fredericton Saturday afternoon to choose a campsite and had planned to take her daughter there that night. The teenager tried to call her mother around 7:30 p.m. AT Saturday but couldn't get an answer, they said.

Police went to the campground Saturday night but found no record of the woman being there.

The campground's owner, Peter Clark, said his park is safe.

"I just don't want it to be a negative advertisement," he said. "We have 24-hour security, every vehicle is registered when it enters the park, they have a signature, and, certainly, that makes it better for all our customers."

Toronto police Const. Wendy Drummond said the woman said she was at the campground Saturday when a man got into her car and forced her to drive him to Toronto at gunpoint.

"A woman was in the campground in the Woodstock area of New Brunswick when she was approached by a man with a firearm," Drummond said. 'He got into the back seat of her vehicle. The victim complied and drove directly to Toronto, arriving Sunday."

The woman drove 14 hours to Toronto and then drove around the city for another three hours before the man asked to be dropped off in a city park near Steeles Avenue E., Drummond said.

The man took money from the woman but did not hurt her. She then was able to call her family members, who called police.

New Brunswick RCMP Sgt. Claude Tremblay said the incident is unusual.

"Yeah, it's something out of a movie almost, tell you the truth," he said Monday. "I've never heard something like this in this region, really. It's not something that happens too often, obviously

"It is bizarre. To have something like this happen, it's quite disturbing."

The man, who identified himself as "James" to the woman, is described as being around 21, Caucasian, five foot, eight inches tall and weighing 160 pounds. He had star tattoos on the left side of his neck and a facial piercing.

Toronto police are conducting forensic tests on the woman's car.
