RCMP searching for missing boy from Red Earth Cree Nation

Apr 20, 2022 | 8:43 AM

UPDATE: The Carrot River RCMP say the search continues for the five year old boy.

They have organized a search party with members from Saskatchewan RCMP’s Carrot River Detachment, Police Dog Services and Search and Rescue, and volunteers from Prince Albert Grand Council Search and Rescue. The Search and Rescue Saskatchewan Association of Volunteers and local residents are also assisting.

An RCMP plane will be doing an aerial search later today and the weather is a concern for those helping.

They are also conducting door to door visits and the investigation so far has not suggested an abduction occurred and the criteria for an amber alert has not been met.

Young was last seen wearing Paw Patrol rubber boots, green pajamas with dinosaurs on them and a navy blue windbreaker-style jacket. The police and family are for his wellbeing.
