ST. PAUL, AB – Alberta RCMP say they are investigating after a child was found wandering on a highway near a town northeast of Edmonton earlier this week.

Police in St. Paul announced in a news release that they received a report about the child at about 9:30 a.m. Tuesday.

A concerned motorist found the child on Highway 881 near Township Road 582 and brought the child to the RCMP detachment.

Police have started an investigation and are looking for dashcam footage from the area on Tuesday morning.

Earlier this week, St. Paul Education issued a statement on its website saying it was investigating after a kindergarten student remained on a bus after it was returned to the driver’s yard following morning drop off.
