The Prince George RCMP are turning to the public for information regarding an incident involving a young child running along the John Hart Bridge.
Just before 6:00 p.m. on November 4, Mounties received multiple reports of an unidentified child running alone on the roadway near the on-ramp from North Nechako Road to Highway 97.
Police say the child was described as female, around 3-6 years of age, with purple hair and wearing a green shirt.
Numerous officers attended the area immediately and conducted extensive patrols including a drone search, but they were unable to locate the child.
“We believe that the child may have been picked up by a guardian, who has decided not to report the situation,” said Sgt. Craig Douglass of the Prince George RCMP. “We would like to ask the guardian or anyone who knows this child to reach out to us so that we may confirm their well-being.”
Anyone with additional information or video footage of the event is asked to contact the RCMP as well.
