Police investigate circumstances around youth’s absence

On July 28th, at 9:10 p.m., Williams Lake RCMP received a report of a missing youth in 150 Mile, who had not been seen by family since 3:00 p.m. The youth was located a short time later by a member of the public and returned home.

An investigation, lead by front line police officers and supported by police dog services and general investigation services, was immediately opened to determine where the youth had been.

This investigation is still ongoing and active.

"Williams Lake RCMP is aware of reports circulating on social media of an abduction, and understand the concern members of the community have. There is currently no specific information to release to the public related to the cause of the missing youth. If and when such information becomes available, it will be released, says Corporal Brett Squire, Media Relations Officer for Williams Lake RCMP.

Anytime a report of this nature is made parents and caregivers are encouraged to speak with their children about Street Proofing Safety Tips.
