Update: 2024-10-18 5:30 p.m.
In a statement released by the Saskatchewan RCMP’s Prince Albert General Investigation Section (GIS) took carriage of the investigation into the incident that resulted in an AMBER Alert being issued on the afternoon of October 17.
After subsequent investigation, it has been determined that no charges will be laid at this time in relation to the incident.
“The immediate police response and resulting AMBER Alert helped us locate the baby quickly – and ensure his safety,” says Insp. Ashley St. Germaine from Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crimes. “This situation is testament to the power of the Saskatchewan AMBER Alert program. We sincerely thank members of the public and our news partners for their assistance with this investigation, which thankfully had a positive outcome.”
We are unable to provide additional details about the incident – or the child – as there is no current court process attached to it and to be mindful of the privacy of the baby.
Officers from Waskesiu/Montreal Lake RCMP, Big River RCMP and many other units and detachments from across the province assisted in this investigation.
