At 11:50 am, on May 13, 2023, The Pas RCMP received a report that a 24-year-old female had been abducted by an unknown male on Highway 10 near The Pas.

 

Officers immediately responded and police roadblocks were put in place in the area. The Saskatchewan RCMP also set up roadblocks due to the proximity of the abduction to the provincial boundary.

 

Through the investigation, officers were able to determine the name of the suspect and a description of his vehicle; a grey Honda Civic. The investigation also produced a possible location of where he may be bringing the abducted female.

 

At 1:10pm, officers arrived at a cabin associated to the suspect in the Red Deer River area, approximately 135km south of The Pas. Officers located the grey Honda Civic at the cabin and saw the abducted female inside at the window. Officers entered and she was quickly and safely removed from the area.

 

The 34-year-old suspect was arrested at the cabin and is facing a number of charges including Kidnapping.

 

His name will be released when all the charges are formally laid.

 

“At this time, it does appear that this was a random kidnapping. RCMP officers in both Manitoba and Saskatchewan worked rapidly to advance the investigation and did everything they could to get the victim to safety. She is being provided with all of the required support following this terrible event,”

 

said Staff Sergeant Jonathan Greer of the Manitoba RCMP’s North District.
