Dawson Creek RCMP seeking information regarding attempted youth abduction in Pouce Coupe

Apr 2, 2022 | 9:39 AM

The Dawson Creek RCMP says they’re investigating an incident about an attempted abduction of a youth back on March 30.

Police say a call came in at 7:24 p.m. regarding an abduction that had occurred in Pouce Coupe.

A youth had been riding a bicycle in the area of 47th Avenue and Railroad Road between 5:30 pm and 7:00 pm. A van stopped, and two men put the victim and bicycle in the van.

The van then drove around a bit before the victim managed to escape. The victim was able to ride his bike home and call the police. Police say the victim did not appear to be physically harmed in the incident.

The van has been described as a newer blue utility van with no sliding doors and center-opening rear doors with no windows.

The suspect has been described as Caucasian man, approximately 25-30 years of age, with dyed purple hair and a distinctive black dragon tattoo on his forearm. There is no description available of the other suspect but is believed to be a man.

The police urge anyone who may have been in the area during this time, anyone with dashcam video, and anyone who may have seen individuals and a van matching the description to call the police, said S/Sgt Damon Werrell NCO I/c Dawson Creek RCMP.
