Suspect at-large after Tuesday incident east of Whitecourt
RCMP in Whitecourt are continuing to search for a suspect who evaded police after an incident near the Hamlet of Blue Ridge on Tuesday morning.
Authorities alerted the public of a heavy police presence in the Blue Ridge area, just east of Whitecourt, on the morning of June 9. From that incident, police are now looking for 35-year-old Bradley Duff.
At around 5:50 a.m. Tuesday, Whitecourt RCMP were called out to a report of a vehicle in the ditch with an unconscious occupant. While EMS were on scene, the man who was later identified as Duff, regained consciousness and fled into a forested area.
Through investigation, it was determined that the vehicle had been stolen out of Edmonton back in April.
