Youth abducted in Alberta located in Shuswap

A teenage girl allegedly involved in an abduction case in Alberta was found in Salmon Arm.

On May 18, 2021, Salmon Arm RCMP officers were alerted to a vehicle coming from Chase RCMP’s detachment area, after previously being in Barrier B.C.

The vehicle, and adult female driver, was allegedly involved with a 14-year-old who was subject of an abduction file in Alberta.

Police officers located the vehicle and initiated a traffic stop in Salmon Arm. As a result of that traffic stop, police located the teen who appeared to be safe at the time. The child was placed in the care of the B.C. Ministry of Children and Family Development.

The driver, a 25-year-old Alberta woman, was taken into custody and released on process to appear in court at a later date in Alberta.
